Blaenavon Ironworks

Great historical museum dedicated to the history of Blaenavon. I would suggest they add information in the beginning about the process of iron making since I had to look it up afterwards. Informational signs are placed around the property but don't give a full picture of what happened here. Great info about daily life and the structures still in place, however. The World Heritage center also has informative displays.

We loved visiting here, its a great experience.A lot to learn about the history and how it all worked. The old workers cottages are really good to get to see how the people lived in different times.Great view from the viewing area at the top, its very high up so not for people scared of heights.Theres free parking across the road.

Loads of exhibits and history to see and view, workers cottages set out as they would have been when ironworks running. Also cottages set up from 1930's, '40's etc. Difficult to access with wheelchair as slope up to cottages is pretty steep, I wouldn't attempt it in inclement weather.

Went on a break en route to Cardiff. Short detour. Drive is beautiful. Takes us to mountain summit. Take a break if you have time. Parking is across the road. Friendly staff. Had a special Halloween event when we went. Cadw members have discounted entry. Mostly outdoor. Not recommended if weather is bad

This historical place has got a real heritage value with fine sttling within nature. The small AV presentation was really nice and takes you back to the old times. One should not miss this place if you are in South Wales.

Thoroughly interesting historical location to visit. Absolutely friendly welcome at ticket office and highly informative knowledgeable guide onsite. Lots to see and read. The little houses through time were fantastic too. Information posts in either Welsh or English. Well worth a visit

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.

A very interesting look at one of the biggest parts of Welsh history. There are plenty of things to see and great interaction. Nestled in the rolling hills, the view from the top is stunning.

Excellent piece of Welsh industrial history exhibition. Remains of iron smelting kilns and its collateral buildings including workers' houses from early 19th century. It is very educational, there are few audio posts all around the site. I really enjoyed my visit. Friendly staff too.
