This World Heritage town is home to the National Coal Museum at Big Pit, Blaenavon World Heritage Centre and the Pontypool and Blaenavon Steam Railway. The town boasts many independent shops including a convenience store, grocers and post office. It also has several public houses as well as a successful 'state of the art' primary school. In addition, there are many fabulous walking trails and cycle routes which make the most of this unique post-industrial landscape.Blaenavon is situated 5 miles from Pontypool and 7 miles from Abergavenny, both offering a comprehensive range of shopping and leisure facilities. Abergavenny boasts a wide selection of boutique style shops, restaurants, public houses and individual cafes whilst Pontypool offers a further range of high street stores, eateries and leisure activities. Both Abergavenny and Pontypool railway stations have regular services into central London via Newport, whilst road links give easy access to the motorway for Bristol, Birmingham, the South-West, and London.
