Gilfach Goch
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Gilfach Goch is a village in Rhondda Cynon Taff, Wales.
Gilfach Goch is a small, ex coal mining, village at the northern end of the Rhondda Valleys in South Wales.
It is reputed to have once been home to the author Richard Llewellyn who based his novel, How Green Was My Valley in a fictional town that was very much based on Gilfach Goch. [1]. This link is not strictly true as Llewellyn was born in Hendon in London and only became familiar with Gilfach Goch as he spent a small amount of time there with his grandfather.
The oldest building in the village is the Griffin Inn pub which is situated at the bottom of a lonely country lane.
