Nelson is a small village in the heart of the Welsh valleys. The surrounding area supports a high farming industry.

Nelson is a quiet, relaxing village for any visitor. There are local village shops and several village pubs, which means that a quiet drink is always at hand.

You can visit the only handball wall in Britain, or maybe take a walk down the new naturist cycle track to the newly renovated Penallta Park.

Nelson is surrounded by rolling hills and mountains, which add to the breath taking views available. If you enjoy walking in lavish Welsh Countryside then Nelson is the place for you.
