South Wales Valleys Tourist Information and Visitor Guide

South Wales Valleys OverviewThe South Wales Valleys are famed across the world for the warmth of their welcome to visitors. In days gone by, the Valleys produced much of the world's coal and the Big Pit is a marvellous attraction that reveals what life was like in the mines. The verdent valleys carry glistening rivers that tumble and bubble over ancient rocks towards the sea whilst tree-covered hills adorn the skyline.
