Description by the author

This walk starts and ends in the center of Blaenavon and takes you along the industrial heritage that has been listed as a UNESCO world heritage site since 2000 because of its age and intactness. The walk will make this clear by going past sights such as the Big Pit and the Garn Lakes that are certainly worth a visit.
