Walking and Cycling

The Blaenavon Industrial Landscape is growing in importance as a walking centre. A variety of way-marked walks have been developed for a range of interests and abilities. 

• Pick up walks leaflets at the Blaenavon World Heritage Centre and find out about ideal walks in the landscape from the helpful staff. 
• The National Cycle Route, following the former railway line from Newport, passes through the World Heritage Site by Big Pit. From this cyclists can explore the Blaenavon area. 
• The towpath of the Monmouthshire and Brecon Canal also provides a long distance footpath, which passes through the World Heritage Site.
