There's a lot to do and see in Abertillery and the surrounding area whether you're coming for a few hours or a day.

 

Enjoy the superb beauty, wildlife and heritage of the area with a variety of easy and more difficult bracing walks.

 

These include the Tyleri Valley (Cwmtillery Lakes and Reservoir area- see right), Rose Heyworth Woodlands and the newly-planned Ebbw Fach trail including Abertillery Park where Abertillery RFC play, one of finest most picturesque grounds in Wales and home to the annual Blues Festival.

 

In the town centre, visit the excellent museum, the recently renovated Metropole Conference and Cultural Centre (The Met), a former Victorian theatre, and St. Michael’s Church, home to John Selway’s stunning series of new works, based on the passion story.

 

St Illtyd’s, one of south Wales oldest churches sits above Abertillery with wonderful views over the town and the valleys.


The town is only 35 minutes from Cardiff by car and 15 minutes from the World Heritage site at Blaenafon, where former Abertillery miners are underground guides at the magnificent Big Pit.
