The Blaenavon World Heritage Centre is the ideal starting point for your visit to the area. Located in the sympathetically restored former St. Peter's School, it provides an overview of how the stories of Blaenavon Industrial Landscape fit into the history of the region and explains why Blaenavon is of global importance.
You can browse the traditional displays and videos that illustrate the extraordinary history of the area and you can delve deeper into the history of Blaenavon by using interactive touch screens to explore a range of topics, including standards of living, geology, transport systems and World Heritage.
You can also visit the centre's gallery which hosts regular temporary exhibitions, often featuring the work of talented local artists or photographers.

During a visit you may also read your emails whilst enjoying an excellent meal or refreshments at the Wi-Fi enabled Heritage Caf which overlooks St Peter's Church.
