    The descent into the black mine was in a crowded lift. The old miner that led the tour shared personal experiences working in a 1 meter shaft. Incomparable

    Love day out with the boyfriend, really enjoyed our day out. Never been before but can say it was really worth it. Very friendly staff in the gift shop/entrance. Very informative and interesting to learn all about the steal works and how people lived. Great parking and toilets available. Would highly recommend to any family or people interested in local history. Also saw some picnic benches which would be lovely to use in the summer months. 10 out of 10 for me !!

    Great place to learn how the ironworkers lived 200 years ago. The exhibition sites are very informative, the view from the top of the balance tower is breathtaking. Even though it was raining when we visited Blaenavon I honestly enjoyed the tour.
