Former Unity Mine & Railhead, Cwmgwrach, Neath

Property details

The site is predominantly split in two by the A465. The westerly land comprises of 9.079 acres of surfaced space that was previously used as a drift mine and processing facility. It was developed from Pentreclwydau workings in the Vale of Neath, then reopened in 2007. It aimed to extract remaining coal reserves for industry and power generation but closed after entering administration in 2013 due to financial difficulties. An additional feature is a rail siding that runs from the main gate (south westerly side) to the rail network. Access is available via a single-track road that begins at the junction with Heol Wenaullt. There is further access from the McDonalds Roundabout off the dual carriageways. The easterly land comprises of 21.75 acres of open countryside, gently sloping grazing land and grass pasture. It was historically used for agriculture and livestock within the rural Vale of Neath landscape. Access is provided via a singletrack road that loops beneath the A465 and subsequently follows the land along its westerly facing side. The total land area available is approximately 37.34 acres of surfaced and agricultural land.
