Taff Gorge from sandstone crag on Garth Hill
Upper Carboniferous rocks underlie the foreground and have been mined historically for coal. The conspicuous settlement, Taff's Well, lies on alluvium and river terraces of the Taff. The wooded ridges either side of the gorge are of lower Carboniferous limestones which are currently quarried and have been mined historically for iron.
