Life in Dowlais & South Wales
Victoria Vets is based in Dowlais, a community in the South Wales Valleys with a strong sense of local identity and a fascinating industrial heritage. The area sits close to the beautiful Bannau Brycheiniog (Brecon Beacons), making it a great base for anyone who enjoys getting outdoors, with mountains, walking routes, waterfalls and open countryside all close by. You’ll also have the best of both worlds when it comes to lifestyle. Merthyr Tydfil and the surrounding valleys offer a strong community atmosphere and plenty of local activities, while Cardiff is within easy reach for city life, restaurants, shopping, sport and entertainment.
