Living in Rhigos
Nestled in the scenic hills of Rhondda Cynon Taf, Rhigos is a charming village that embodies the tranquil beauty of the Welsh countryside. With its rich industrial history, this village once thrived as a coal mining community, but today it offers a peaceful retreat surrounded by stunning landscapes. The remnants of its past are still visible in the local architecture and community spirit, which celebrates a close-knit way of life. Rhigos is distinguished by its low crime rate, boasting figures that are 99% below the national average, making it an ideal spot for families and retirees alike. The village's economy has shifted towards local businesses and tourism, with outdoor activities such as hiking and cycling becoming popular due to the picturesque Brecon Beacons nearby. With a very low flood risk, residents can also feel secure in their environment.
