Cefn Coed Colliery Museum

Visited this wonderful museum with my son and mother in law. Great time had by all of us as we asked questions of our very helpful guide, touched the machinery that powered the pit, and tried to get an idea of how this beautiful part of Wales felt while it was a workplace for the local community. If you have the time you should definitely visit.

CLOSED Mondays and Wednesdays. We visited on a very wet day but that didn't bother us. Most of what can be seen is inside. It's FREE entry (donation voluntry)
There is a small cafe which offer great tea a yummy cakes at least the children thought so ☺. The volunteers that work here are very friendly and very knowledgeable they seem very passionate about the mines heritage I'm thankful there's people like this keeping this place open for all to see. We spent around 2.5 hours here although you could quite easily spend longer as there is so much to take in. Theres the world's only ever gas powered tram which was a favourite with the children. All in all this place is defiantly worth a visit.

Great little place. Friendly staff and very informative. Definately a good place to visit and good for children to learn about our past.

This museum is packed full of interesting exhibits, information, history and old machinery which makes this place unique. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable and there is no entry fee. This museum is located within beautiful surroundings, and is perfect for children and adults of all ages.

Friendly and helpful staff, much more than expected, great cafe and loads to do. Great morning out. 👍

Winding engine is a must to see, free entry, many Interesting things.

Much more to see than we expected. The volunteer we met gave us a very interesting and detailed explanation of the history of the colliery. The place was very tidy, well organised, the written information was very detailed, and the toilets were immaculate. The volunteers clearly do an excellent job of running the museum.

Not open yet, just went here for a walk but the scenery is great and the guy who was about was very friendly
