Seven Sisters is a small former colliery village tucked into the steep, wooded slopes of the Afan Valley in Neath Port Talbot, Wales, sitting beside the River Afan. Surrounded by the fir-clad hills of Afan Forest Park, it acts as a quiet gateway to popular walking and mountain‑biking trails, with long views down the valley and a distinctly rural, upland character.
The settlement grew up around the Seven Sisters Colliery and its rows of miners’ terraces, and the decline of coal reshaped local life and employment. Today the village combines a strong local community and memorials to its industrial past with an economy that mixes commuting to nearby towns such as Port Talbot and Neath and a modest boost from outdoor recreation and tourism in the Afan area.
