In April, we welcomed a full tour bus to the Richard Burton Guided Tour in the actor’s birthplace of Pontrhydyfen, and his childhood hometown of Taibach.
Visitors learnt all about how the local communities and landscaped shaped the young rugby fan and miner’s son, Richie Jenkins, into global Hollywood sensation Richard Burton.
