Pontsticill is part of Merthyr Tydfil, the principal town in Merthyr Tydfil County Borough, Wales. The town is administered by Merthyr Tydfil County Borough Council and sits about 23 miles (37 km) north of Cardiff. Merthyr Tydfil’s name, often shortened to Merthyr, is linked to Tydfil, daughter of King Brychan of Brycheiniog, who is said to have been slain at Merthyr by pagans around 480 CE. The term Merthyr is derived from the Latin martyrium, meaning a place of worship built over a martyr’s relics, rather than the modern Welsh meaning ‘martyr’. Similar place names exist in south Wales, such as Merthyr Cynog, Merthyr Dyfan and Merthyr Mawr. The locality falls within the CF 48 postcode district, indicating its position within the broader Merthyr Tydfil area.
