Title: Big Pit: National Coal Museum, Blaenafon.

A great place to visit if your ever in South Wales, free entry and as long as you are not claustrophobic you can spend quite a few hours looking around the site.
Been there 3 times so far taking family and friends (Brock & Mrs Brock) and will be going again this year no doubt.

Also not far from Valley Boy, (You been there?)

used to pass it every day, was on my route to work, took kids there and flat land family members, tis a good day out or rather different if yuhs never been down a pit, the pity about it is the entire village surrounding has all but been demolished bar a few streets so for me it seriously lacks the feel and look of a mining town

I have also been there, went on a school trip when I was a whipper snapper, have to say that I really enjoyed it, would recommend it anyone!
