Deri is a tiny and peaceful village, nestled at the Northern end of the picturesque Rhymney Valley in mid-glamorgan, South Wales. With its old wood houses and quaint streets, it beautifully maintains its quaint and distinct rural identity. Deri was once

known for its many small coal mines and its whole economy was based on coal mining. Located amid panoramic surroundings, the village is emerging as a perfect weekend getaway amongst urbanites and a good number of Deri vacation rentals have sprung up in the village, which cater to all segments of tourists whether it is a backpacker, honeymooner or a family.

One of the biggest attractions of Deri is the Darran Valley Country Park, which occupies the site of the old Ogilvie Colliery.
