M4 South Wales run · Fridays
Wales Shuttle collects boxes, bags and small moves from Merthyr Tydfil every Friday and delivers to London Wednesday, 5 days later. Kerbside collection of up to 4 pieces costs £199 including VAT and £50 cover per piece, the same price in both directions. Book online in 2 minutes.
Cyfarthfa Castle, a Grade I listed castellated mansion, is now a museum. The town lies on the southern edge of the Brecon Beacons National Park, and BikePark Wales is nearby at Gethin Woods.
Known as the iron capital of the world in the early nineteenth century, Merthyr Tydfil was then the biggest town in Wales.
The College Merthyr Tydfil makes Merthyr Tydfil a regular student lane for us: boxed-up rooms out at the end of term, and the same in reverse come September.
The van works the M4 corridor from Carmarthen to Newport every Friday, collecting and delivering door to door. Your things ride to our Oxfordshire hub, then out on the destination's own weekly run. Every piece carries £50 of cover, and the price is the same in both directions.
