Blaenavon's Heritage Railway is set in the heart of a World Heritage Site on
the edge of the Brecon Beacons in South Wales. There is ample free car and coach parking at Furnace
Sidings, by Garn Lakes, our main Station. From here our trains head north to the
Whistle Inn, south to Blaenavon High Level Station (which is only a short walk from
Blaenavon town centre) as well as to Big Pit Halt, which is adjacent to the Big
Pit Mining Museum.
Whether you're looking for a family day out or you are a devoted railway enthusiast,
we have something for you. With free car parking at Furnace sidings, why not combine
a visit to Big Pit with a ride on the train, using our new halt at Big Pit.
Enjoy a snack in the tea room at Furnace Sidings or shop in Eric's Emporium,
an outpost of The Railway Shop in Blaenavon which stocks a selection of railway
models, gifts and souvenirs. Many trains also have a buffet service offering light
refreshments.
Trains leave Furnace Sidings every half hour with the four mile
round trip taking around 50 minutes.
You only pay once to ride all day!
