AbertilleryAbertillery is a former coal-mining town situated in the heart of the South Wales Valleys. The creation of the town was by the coal miners and their families, many of whom lost their lives underground, including 45 men who died in the Six Bells Colliery disaster of 1960. To discover the history and heritage of the Abertillery area a visit to the Abertillery and District Museum is a must. Housed in its new headquarters, the museum has something for everyone, old and young. See the Bronze Age axe from the settlement at Llanerch Padarn high above Cwmtillery; visit the authentic miner's kitchen and find out how Abertillery developed as a coal-mining town. Visit the beautiful and historic ancient church of St. Illtyd, situated on the mountainside high above Abertillery, this quaint deconsecrated church is the oldest building in northwest Gwent.
