When Coal was King in Wales’ Rhondda Valley
British Heritage |
The power and attraction of the Valleys lie in the warmth of her people and in an identity forged over centuries: in her homes and chapels, on the playing fields, and in the strong magical voices of her men’s choirs raised in Welsh anthems like Calon Lan:
Oh pure heart, so true and tender,
Fairer than the lilies white, The pure heart alone can render Songs of joy both day and night. That song of the heart alone makes the valleys worth the visit.
