#Details! .The Aberfan disaster was the catastrophic collapse of a colliery spoil tip in the Welsh village of Aberfan, near Merthyr Tydfil, that killed 116 children and 28 adults on 21 October 1966. The collapse was caused by the build-up of water in the accumulated rock and shale tip, which suddenly slid downhill in the form of slurry.

In the cemetery side by side stands and overwhelming array of arches - each one a grave to those who passed that fateful day.

It is beautiful and peaceful - almost heavenly - worthy of a visit....I felt initially uncomfortable to take photos but the beauty of it overwhelmed me and will live with me forever.

Cardiff Marriott Hotel

5/5 Excellent

Lovely hotel

"The hotel is lovely, we were met by a lovely lady at check ( she is from Rumania) very helpful and friendly. We thought the car park fee of £18is a bit steep but it is city centre and great that it is under the hotel. The room is lovely, very comfortable and clean."
