A named place photographed at this map point in Merthyr Tydfil.
Station Hill, Aberfan, is a small, locally significant elevation near the village of Aberfan in Merthyr Tydfil, with a height of approximately 150–200 metres. It lies within the coalfield geology of South Wales, and its prominence is largely due to its association with the area's industrial history and the tragic 1966 and 1970 mining disasters nearby.
