Big Pit and Blaenavon World Heritage site
Big Pit National Mining Museum of Wales is situated on the site of Big Pit Colliery, a coal mine which ceased production in 1980. Miners, which previously worked the Colliery, now take visitors down the mine to experience past times and life of a miner. Visitors can also enjoy a virtual guide that takes you through a replicated mine where a modern coal face is brought to life through sound and light.
