The Wern

The Wern sits in the quiet of Ynysfach, far enough from the town centre that a visitor walks there. The ground is a patch of all-weather grass surrounded by a mix of standing room and covered seating.

It has been Merthyr RFC's home since 1958, after they left a basic enclosed pitch. The surface changed in 2016, part of a project that brought floodlights and a new terrace to the site. The capacity has stayed the same at 4,500 throughout those changes. It was briefly shared with the rugby league club South Wales Ironmen in 2017, but that arrangement ended quickly. The stadium is distinct from Penydarren Park, which belongs to the football community in the town.
