South Wales Miners Museum

South Wales Miners Museum, set within Afan Forest Park, is a powerful tribute to the coal mining communities that shaped the region. Created and run by volunteers, the museum preserves artefacts, machinery and personal stories that reflect the daily lives, resilience and camaraderie of local miners and their families.

Visitors can explore reconstructed colliery buildings, view historic mining equipment and discover exhibitions that highlight both the industrial processes and the social history of the valleys. Surrounded by woodland scenery, the museum offers a thoughtful and informative experience that connects the natural landscape with its industrial heritage.
