Torfaen, the most easterly of the South Wales Valleys, stretches just 12 miles from Blaenavon in the north to Cwmbran in the south. Its principal river is the Afon Llwyd which offers 13 miles of double-bank game fishing. Llandegfedd Reservoir can be fished coarse and game. Though a smaller county, Torfaen has a wide variety of landscapes and Blaenavon is home of the National Mining Museum of Wales, a place of great importance to the history and culture of the Valleys.
