Information about this winner

The upper section from Resolven to Ysgwrfa was completed in 1990 and received a Civic Trust Award in 1992. The £4 million project was jointly funded by the Welsh Office and the Prince of Wales Trust. This project demonstrates the value to a community of restoring part of the former industrial infrastructure of the region so that it can be used as an important new leisure facility. This impressive work is truly restorative in that no new components have been added or invented.
