Merthyr, Tredegar & Abergavenny Railway
The construction of the Merthyr, Tredegar & Abergavenny Railway was a remarkable engineering achievement. The section through the Clydach Gorge was particularly dramatic with the line twisting and turning, but climbing steadily along a ledge cut above the deep valley.
