If you think that all museums are the same then you would be surprised if you visited St Fagans National Museum of History. It's not just about looking at old books and artefacts but about physically experiencing the way we used to live. As you walk around the extensive grounds you can pop into a blacksmiths' smithy, a Victorian school house, numerous old stone built cottages with their low ceilings, stone floors and old fashioned ovens and actually experience what it must have been like to live in those bygone days. There is a wide range of very old buildings that have been demolished and rebuilt brick by brick or stone by stone in their new home. Well worth the visit.

There are lots of good reasons to visit Blaenavon's World Heritage Centre. It is home to the Big Pit mining museum where you can experience what life was like for those adults, pit ponies and even children who used to work down the mines. At certain times of the year - especially late October and December - special steam train trips are run where passengers of all ages get to meet the volunteer guys and ghouls who work in the station and on the train which at Christmas time include Santa and his elves.
