About Pontypool

  • Blaenavon, a few miles from Pontypool, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site — the best-preserved example of a 19th-century industrial landscape in the world, where the ironworks, the coal mines, the workers' housing, and the social institutions of the Industrial Revolution survive in extraordinary completeness. The Blaenavon Ironworks, which were built in 1789 and are now managed by Cadw, are among the most important industrial monuments in Britain, and the Big Pit National Coal Museum — housed in a working colliery that closed in 1980 — offers underground tours that give visitors a vivid experience of what it was like to work in a Welsh coal mine. The World Heritage Site designation recognises the global significance of Blaenavon's industrial heritage.
  • Pontypool RFC, one of the most famous rugby clubs in Wales, was the dominant force in Welsh club rugby in the 1970s and 1980s — a club whose front row of Graham Price, Bobby Windsor, and Charlie Faulkner became known as the 'Pontypool Front Row' and was one of the most feared scrummaging units in world rugby. The club's success in that period, which included multiple Welsh Cup victories and a series of victories over touring international sides, reflected the strength of the rugby tradition in the South Wales valleys and the commitment of the community to the game. The Pontypool Front Row was immortalised in a song by Max Boyce, the Welsh comedian and rugby enthusiast.
  • Pontypool Park, the large public park at the heart of the town, was created from the grounds of Pontypool House — the home of the Hanbury family, who were the principal ironmasters of the Torfaen valley from the 17th century onwards. The park, which covers over 100 acres, includes a shell grotto, a walled garden, and a series of woodland walks that preserve the character of the original 18th-century landscape garden. The park is one of the most important green spaces in Torfaen and one of the most attractive public parks in South Wales.
