Pontardawe Heritage & Visitor Centre

Exhibitions highlight the area’s industrial past—from coal mining and tinplate to the Swansea Canal—alongside displays of local photographs, artefacts and oral histories. The centre also provides visitor information, maps and tips for exploring nearby walks, cycling routes and attractions across the Swansea Valley. Opening times may be seasonal or event-led; check ahead before travelling.
