Not at all car related, but if you live in or near Rassau, Ebbw Vale, I'd like to get your opinion via PM please. Thinking of moving house.
Thanks

Ita fine if you have a job locally, nightmare if you have to join the rat race of the commuters

I used to work in Tredegar (Nearby) for a couple of years.
As Welshpug said, it's great if you have a job locallly (I was commuting from near Chepstow so luckily I was going against the taffic flow).
In extreme weathers it can be a nightmare to get around. If you are right at the top of the valley it can get quite chilly in the wind!
Places like Crickhowell, Abergavenny and Brecon are worth a visit.
Cardiff can be done by car in about 45 mins by car or just over a hour on the Train.

Grew up in Ebbw Vale. As said Rassau is exposed to the elements and winters pretty harsh. Sadly high unemployment area too.
Can’t advise on living there now as it’s all subjective. Cheaper housing but decent new road networks now, ironically after most of the factories and job infrastructure closed!
