Seven Sisters sits in the Dulais Valley within the county borough of Neath Port Talbot in South Wales, occupying a compact ribbon of housing on the northern edge of the South Wales coalfield and the foothills of the Brecon Beacons. The settlement grew around 19th‑century coal mining and the railways that served the pits, and remnants of that industrial heritage still shape the landscape and local memory.
Like many former mining communities, Seven Sisters felt the impact of pit closures in the mid‑20th century but retains a strong community spirit through local clubs, sport and events; many people now commute to nearby towns such as Neath or Swansea. The surrounding valley offers easy access to walks and industrial archaeology, and bilingual place‑names and family histories keep the village’s coalfield past visible in everyday life.
