Blaenavon Ironworks

The discovery of local limestone, iron ore and other beneficial factors such as a plentiful supply of water transformed Merthyr Tydfil in the 18th C from a quiet little village into the 'iron capital of Wales'

Visit the fascinating industrial museum on the edge of the Brecon Beacons National Park to see how life changed for the local people and how the whole world benefited from the thriving industry.
