Seven Sisters sits at the head of the Dulais Valley, about nine miles north of Neath, where the landscape begins its dramatic transition into the southern edge of the Brecon Beacons. The village owes its existence and its unusual name to the coal industry; it was founded in 1872 by Evans Bevan, who named the local colliery after his seven daughters. While the pits have long since closed, the village retains a strong sense of community centered around the Main Road, where you’ll find the local post office, primary school, and rugby club. Geographically, it’s a high-altitude settlement, meaning the weather can be a bit sharper than in the coastal towns, but the trade-off is immediate access to the hills. Living here, you are perfectly placed for the A4109, which provides a straightforward link down to the M4, while the vast forestry tracks and the nearby Sarn Helen Roman road offer miles of walking right on the doorstep. It’s a quiet, functional place where the history of the anthracite trade is still visible in the terrace architecture and the surrounding landscape.
