Leisure and Tourism

Blaenau Gwent lies on the fringe of the Brecon Beacons and at the Head of the Valleys region of Southern Wales. It is an area of startling contrasts from steeply wooded valleys in the south to open remote moorland in the north. This rich tapestry boasts a wealth of history from the Bronze Age, catching glimpses of medieval times and a profusion of industrial heritage sites that can be explored on foot, cycle, horseback or car.

With so much history to discover in the area, a visit to Blaenau Gwent will not leave you disappointed.

There is great number of places to visit, stay and enjoy.

Festival Park Owl Sanctuary

Why not visit the Festival Park Owl Sanctuary, where we have over 50 birds of prey, including Owls, Hawks, Falcons and Buzzards.

The Festival Park Owl Sanctuary is situated in the Festival Park, which held the last British Garden Festival of 1992, which is located in the Ebbw Valley.
