Approximate location — this spot is pinned to the nearest village, so the exact point may be a little way off.

The Royal Mint has struck the nation’s coins at Llantrisant since 1968, when it moved out from Tower Hill in London, and its visitor centre opens up how it’s done. The tour follows the making of coins and medals, with a chance to strike your own. It’s ticketed and booked ahead, with Pontyclun the nearest station a few kilometres south.
