History and tales of years gone by fill this wonderful village. The Big Pit, Heritage Railway and many more wonderful spots will keep you entertained before you return to settle down in style each evening.
A holiday in Blaenavon puts you right at the heart of Wales’ industrial landscape. The village is a World Heritage Site thanks to its well-preserved collection of ironworks and mines, and is a fascinating place to visit. The countryside around Blaenavon provides you with a wealth of walks, cycle trails and scenic views, especially in the Brecon Beacons. This welcoming cottage is well-suited to small families looking for days out with a difference.
Inside, the open-plan living space offers a comfortable place to relax after exciting adventures. Put your feet up and unwind in front of the TV and stay warm on chilly nights by turning on the wood burner-effect electric fire. At mealtimes, get creative in the kitchen or stroll down to a pub or restaurant in the village, less than a mile from the property. Alternatively, you can take your grub outside and savour it on the property’s patio. The views of Coity Mountain will make it an occasion to remember. When it’s time for bed, climb the stairs to the bedrooms; there’s one double room and two singles. With all that fresh Welsh air in your lungs, you’re likely to fall asleep as soon as your head hits the pillow.
With loads of attractions on your doorstep, you’ll never be short of things to do here. Go down a coal mine at the Big Pit (1 mile), where former miners will lead you on a fascinating underground tour, and discover 18th-century blast furnaces at Blaenavon Ironworks, just half a mile from the property. Hop on the Blaenavon Heritage Railway to Pontypool or jump in the car and drive to the popular market town of Abergavenny (7 miles) on the scenic mountain road.
