RESOLVEN and surrounding area

Site Home Page

Resolven, six miles north-east of Neath and in its pretty vale, is a colliery town through which the Tennant Canal passes. The splendid Melincourt Fall (80 feet) can be reached by crossing the Melincourt brook beyond St. David's Church, and taking a short walk up the ravine. Near Henllan Farm are believed to be the remains of a stone circle. It was about 30 feet in diameter and was composed of about 28 small stones leaning inwards with, apparently, no centre stones. St. David's Church, built in the early Gothic style in the middle of the 19th century consist of chancel, nave, western porch, and belfry. A grange, or chapel, it is believed, formerly existed here.
