Really interesting to walk round and learn times gone by and our industrial history. Great audio at the start brings the story to life.

Fascinating look at the birth of industrial ironworking. Nice site but limited interactions. Kids may get bored!

A really good place to both see and learn how raw iron is cast etc. Also to see how people lived in the 1780's.

A good display and very 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.

Nice place if you just want a small 30 min walk and good pictures of the place. Dont forget to listen to 4 pods there with your self guided tour. Overall it was ok.

Love day out with the boyfriend, really enjoyed our day out. Never been before but can say it was really worth it. Very friendly staff in the gift shop/entrance. Very informative and interesting to learn all about the steal works and how people lived. Great parking and toilets available. Would highly recommend to any family or people interested in local history. Also saw some picnic benches which would be lovely to use in the summer months. 10 out of 10 for me !!
