Ebbw Vale is a hillside town set deep in the South Wales Valleys, where the rooftops climb the slopes and the views stretch right across the horizon. It's the kind of place that still wears its industrial heritage on its sleeve, but it's also been finding a new identity in recent years, with green spaces, modern developments and a focus on community. There's a gritty charm to it, and while the winds might be sharp in winter, the welcome's always warm.

The town's history is closely tied to steel and coal. It grew rapidly in the 19th and 20th centuries, driven by the rise of the Ebbw Vale Steelworks—once one of the largest in Europe. At its height, the plant employed thousands, putting the town on the map. After the closure of the steelworks in the early 2000s, Ebbw Vale entered a period of change, with major regeneration projects reshaping its landscape. These days, the population is around 18,500, and while the smokestacks are gone, the spirit of industry still runs through the town's culture, from its working-class roots to its determination to reinvent itself.

There's a surprising amount to see and do. The town boasts the beautiful Festival Park—a landscaped site that once hosted the National Garden Festival in 1992. It's now home to walking trails, lakes and woodland, ideal for a wander on a dry afternoon. The leisure centre and theatre sit in the centre of town, and there's a good mix of shops and eateries dotted around. For something a bit more heritage-focused, the nearby Guardian memorial sculpture pays tribute to the local mining community, and the old steelworks site now hosts Coleg Gwent and Ysbyty Aneurin Bevan. Not far away, the Blaenavon World Heritage Site—including Big Pit National Coal Museum—is a must-visit, and under the care of National Museum Wales. You've also got Tredegar House, a stunning National Trust property, just down the A4048 near Newport.

Wider Blaenau Gwent has its fair share of green hills, hidden valleys and working-town pride. Tredegar's not far off and has its own rich industrial past, including connections to Aneurin Bevan and the early days of the NHS. Abertillery offers riverside walks, local history and a theatre. For outdoor types, Parc Bryn Bach just outside Tredegar is perfect for walking, cycling and even paddleboarding on the lake. Head east and you'll find historic sites like Bedwellty House and Gardens or Cwmcarn Forest Drive, which has become popular with mountain bikers and families alike. The whole area is full of little finds—chapels tucked in valleys, scenic climbs, and quiet villages where time moves at its own pace.

Getting to Ebbw Vale is easier than it used to be. The town sits at the top end of the Ebbw Valley railway line, with direct trains running to Cardiff Central and connections across South Wales. By road, the A465—known locally as the Heads of the Valleys Road—links Ebbw Vale to Merthyr Tydfil, Abergavenny and beyond. Local buses cover most towns and villages nearby. For air travel, Cardiff Airport is just over an hour away by car. Once in town, most places are walkable, and the valley's steep terrain makes for good cardio whether you want it or not.

Blaenau Gwent is one of the smallest counties in Wales, but it packs a lot in. It covers the upper valleys of Ebbw Fawr, Ebbw Fach and Sirhowy, with towns like Ebbw Vale, Tredegar, Brynmawr and Abertillery forming its heart. The county's got a strong industrial backbone, shaped by coal, steel and the communities built around them. While the heavy industry is gone, there's a lot of energy being put into building new industries, new housing and green spaces. It's a county that knows where it's come from and isn't afraid to try something different.

We hope you found this Ebbw Vale tourist map useful for your visit to the area.
