Location
The town of Blaenavon is located in the Torfaen County Borough of Wales, at the head of the Afon Lwyd Valley, near to the source of the River Lywd. The town has a population of some 7,000 and is a major tourist destination due to part of the town and surrounding countryside being granted UNESCO World Heritage status in 2000, thus attracting a large number of visitors to its rich industrial heritage. It is currently home to the Big Pit National Coal Museum, Blaenavon Ironworks, Pontypool and Blaenavon Railway, and Blaenavon World Heritage Centre. It is also close to the Bannau Brycheiniog National Park (Brecon Beacons), a mecca for outdoor enthusiasts.
Blaenavon is 15 miles north of the M4 and Newport, 7 miles south of Abergavenny and 6 miles north of Pontypool. It has easy access to the A465 Heads of the Valleys Road.
