In its heyday Rhondda’s coal was as important as the oil produced by the Middle East today. This Welsh Valley helped to power the world, and the
character and culture of the Rhondda is brought to life in the 'Black Gold' story through exciting multi media displays set in three
restored colliery buildings.
Accompanied by your ex-miner guide, your tour takes you to in the Bertie Winding House. This multi media exhibition takes you back in time to the
start of mining in the Rhondda Valleys and tells the history of Lewis Merthyr Colliery, the Tynewydd mining disaster and of important figures in South
Wales coal mining history.
You can touch the machinery, hear the effects as explosives are detonated, smell and even taste the changing atmospheric conditions and humidity of
life underground.
As an exciting end to your tour you will be transported back to the surface on an amazing simulated ride where you are hurtled and catapulted through
the dark and twisting tunnels.
The Rhondda Heritage Park based at the former Lewis Merthyr Colliery, Trehafod, is one of the top heritage and cultural visitor attractions in South
Wales and provides a fun and interesting day out for individuals, groups, school children and students.
