People visiting the National Eisteddfod are being encouraged to use public transport as the annual event visits the south Wales valleys.

Based in the town centre of Pontypridd, Rhondda Cynon Taf, this year’s eisteddfod will be “different and urban”, according to the local council.

Ynysangharad Park is providing the focus for most of the activities, with 150,000 visitors expected over the course of the week.

With no event parking near the festival, those attending are being urged to walk, cycle or take the train or bus.
