Location
Blaenavon, an historical former coal and iron working town is located at the head of the Afon valley between the slopes of the Coity and Blorenge mountains on the outer fringe of the Brecon Beacons National Park. The town itself owes its existence to its industrial past and has in recent years been awarded prestigious world heritage status while also having won much acclaim as one of the areas newest ‘Book Towns’ as Blaenavon was indeed made famous itself by Alexander Cordell’s novel ‘Rape of the fair country’.

The town has many attractions including the Big Pit Mining Museum, one of the best preserved and earliest iron mines in the country dating back to 1325 and the Pontypool/Blaenavon railway that served these industries and where you can still see many of the trains that worked these lines up to 1980. The town itself offers various local shopping facilities, local primary schooling and public library in addition to regular bus services serving the surrounding larger towns of Brynmawr, Pontypool, Cwmbran and Newport.
