The Blaenavon World Heritage Centre is the ideal starting point for your visit to the area. Located in the sympathetically restored former St. Peter’s School, it provides an overview of how the stories of Blaenavon Industrial Landscape fit in to the history of the region and the UK as a whole.

You can browse the traditional displays and videos that illustrate the extraordinary history of the area. And you can delve deeper into the history of Blaenavon by using interactive touch screen to explore a range of topics, including standards of living, geology, and transport systems.

In the gallery you can view and buy the work of local artists, buy gifts in the well-stocked gift shop or read your emails whilst enjoying an excellent meal or refreshments at the Wi-Fi enabled Heritage Café which overlooks St Peter’s Church.

The Centre is the starting point for several walks around the Blaenavon Industrial Landscape; the Tourist Information Centre has a wide selection of walks leaflets.

The centre also offers specialised education provision for schools, a research facility and state of the art conference facilities. Call in to get your visit off to a flying start!
