Abertillery is a town of just above 11,000 population in the South Wales country of Blaenau Gwent. The surrounding region was once a traditional Welsh valley coalmining area that straddles the old counties of Monmouthshire and Glamorganshire.

Today, the coal mines are closed and the area's old industrial relics removed to reveal the beautiful countryside of the Ebbw Fach Valley, its wooded hills, its lakes and open moorland. Bluebells carpet the open spaces and woodland flowers in late spring, followed by gorse and broom flowering along the winding lanes throughout the summer. The Beaufort Hill woodlands close by are part of a walking tour called the Ebbw Fach Trail. Once an area of open cast mine working, today it sports ponds, lakes, heath and grasslands. It's an important site for birdwatchers who can observe snipe and lapwings.

Next day flower delivery to Abertillery is a dream with Clare Florist

See the countryside in its full glory and make new friends on a short walk from Abertillery north to Cwntillery. Both of these town lie on the River Tyleri that meanders into two lakes. This area used to be famous for a resident known as "the Old Hag of the Mountains". She was a product of the imagination of residents in the former medieval settlements whose relics are dotted around the countryside rather than the later industrial and mining industries.

On clear days you can see magnificent views all along the Ebbw Fach Valley. There is open access to all of the lakes in the area with picnic tables at favourite sites. You can fish for rainbow trout in the lakes. When you walk to the top of the hills surrounding the Cwmtillery lakes, you will be able to see Pen-y-Fan, the highest peak in the Brecon Beacons.

On your way down from the peaks it just takes a quick check-in online to get flowers delivered to Abertillery, to thank your friends in this quiet town for their hospitality and for sharing the bounty of their surroundings.
