Located here https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/5721439 at the northern edge of the village in the county borough of Rhondda Cynon Taf, about 3km from Llantrisant and 7km from Pontypridd. The local pronunciation of the village name by English speakers is similar to Bather. The literal meaning of the Welsh Beddau is Graves or Tombs. The reason for the name is obscure - one possibility is that this area was an ancient (pre-Christian) burial site.
