How Seven Sisters works
Seven Sisters visitor guide
Seven Sisters is Blaendulais — a Dulais valley village on the NPT taxi table, former mining streets, not a tourist harbour. This guide covers how you arrive, eat, stay and get practical help — then links into the full pillar pages.
Getting here
Most visitors arrive by car on the A4109. Cardiff Airport is closer than Manchester for most flights — pre-book private hire with luggage space.
The village to the valley road is a short hop.
Getting around
The village sits on the Dulais. Hackney carriages use the NPT meter — not a neighbouring council's table.
Private hire must be pre-booked with a price agreed when you book — see the Seven Sisters tariff page.
Eat
Village independents. FSA hygiene ratings run 0–5 — search the venue on food.gov.uk before you book.
We have not yet listed a verified restaurant shortlist. Neath is a different sitting on the same taxi table.
Stay
Village hotels. Confirm breakfast, parking and cancellation on the venue's own site. Saturday fills the streets.
This is not a tourist-harbour stay.
If something breaks
Gas Safe before any gas or boiler work. Electrical jobs should leave a certificate. Highway skips on a public road need an NPT permit — £59 for 28 days; confirm who applies.
Get scope and price in writing before walls open, especially on village streets.
Do
The village and Dulais hop are the core. Neath is a day trip on the same taxi table.
If you only have a weekend
Walk the village, eat once with a checkable FSA rating, and sleep in the village if you can. Leave Sunday without treating Neath as this page.
