About Rhondda Heritage Park
Take a tour with guides, who are all retired miners. Nobody knows the coal industry better than them!
The exclusive Black Gold Experience Underground Guided Tour takes you through the recently developed Trefor & Bertie Engine Houses and into the original lamp room where you will collect your miner’s helmet for your journey underground. You can almost hear the banter between the miners at the start and the end of their shifts.
Dram: The Cinematic Experience.
Jump on board as you take a virtual ride on the last dram of coal to the surface - and watch out for a few surprises along the way! Marvel at the historic Chimney Stack, which dominates our skyline, along with the original Pit-head Wheel and Winding Gear. Visit our Fan House and our two Engine Houses, both built in the late 1800s.
And no tour would be complete without stopping off at the Caffe Bracchi Open - 9.00 am to 4.30 pm daily. Caffe Bracchi at A Welsh Coal Mining Experience is run by the Chocolate House who serve delicious homemade cakes and desserts as well as a full menu of fresh food made to order from their kitchen. The menu includes vegetarian and vegan options and there’s also a kids menu. The Welsh Gift Shop has plenty of Welsh souvenirs to choose from.
