Cefn Coed Colliery is unique, standing as it does in one of the most beautiful and unspoilt valleys in the South Wales coalfield. Discover what it was like for miners who worked underground, in some of the most difficult conditions experienced anywhere in the world.

Whether you live in the area and want to know more about your history and heritage, or you are a visitor to Wales, a visit to Cefn Coed Colliery will surprise you. Come and explore the colliery buildings and experience our underground gallery.

Our well stocked souvenir and gift shop is open throughout the Museum opening hours and can be visited separately from the Museum. There are special events and talks throughout the year.
