Breathtaking Rugby Stadiums with the Most Scenic Views
23. The Gnoll, Wales: Where Valleys Echo Rugby
The Gnoll in Neath may not be the largest or flashiest stadium, but it might be one of the most atmospheric. Tucked into the Welsh Valleys and surrounded by rolling green hills, The Gnoll is a throwback to grassroots rugby at its most intimate. On misty afternoons, with the low hum of local accents and the smell of rain-soaked turf in the air, the venue feels almost sacred. The tight stands put fans close to the action, and the pride of Neath RFC—one of the oldest clubs in Wales—runs deep. It’s rugby without pretense, against a backdrop that feels straight out of folklore.
