The Roost is situated in the village of Troedyrhiw, Merthyr Tydfil in the lush green South Wales Valleys, an area steeped in industrial heritage. Merthyr Tydfil sits at the southern entrance to the Bannau Brycheiniog (Brecon Beacons) National Park. It therefore gives easy access to the west, central and east Beacons. Troedyrhiw village, with its amenities and train station, is just a 5 minute walk away. The train connects to the Welsh capital, Cardiff, in under an hour. The seaside is also not far away including the legendary Barry Island and the Gower Peninsula.

Within easy reach of the Roost, there’s so much to do. For mountain biking (MTB) there’s not only Bike Park Wales (10 min), there's also Mountain View (30 min), CwmCarn and Dirt Farm (35 min) and Afan Forest (55 min) or you can go off-road in the National Park. Whereas for hiking, the vast National Park with its big peaks (including Corn Du, Pen y Fan and Cribyn) has breath-taking views and waterfalls. Explore Wales by Trails including the Taff Trail, route 8 (just outside the gates). Cycle or walk it. It connects to Cardiff, Brecon and long distance trail, Lon Las Cymru, all the way to Anglesey. And, if that’s not enough, there are attractions, caving, climbing, horse riding, water sports and so much more.
