Aberdare Park

Aberdare Park Circuit, on the edge of the Brecon Beacons in South Wales, holds a number of rare distinctions which have no doubt helped it survive over the years where other similar circuits have failed. One of only two closed road race circuits in mainland Britain (Oliver's Mount being the other) it is also one of the few to run anti-clockwise, looping its way through a Victorian-era park. It also holds the unique position of being the venue which hosted the first ever live outside broadcast of a motorsport event anywhere in Britain, when the BBC's cameras arrived to televise the races in 1955.
