The information board on the left records that this area near the confluence of two rivers, the Taff and the Bargoed Taff, was originally known as Rhyd y Grug, Welsh for Ford of the Rustling Waters. The name changed in the 18th century when a small plot of land was bequeathed to the Quaker movement for use as a Quaker burial ground or yard.
