Big Pit National Coal Museum 2024

Standing high on the heather-clad moors of Blaenafon, the museum still retains many features of its former life as a coal mine. The tunnels and buildings that once echoed to the sound of miners, now enjoy the sound of the footsteps and chatter of visitors. This is the only colliery where visitors can journey 300ft underground with a real miner and see what life was like for the thousands of men who worked at the coal face.
