Seddonville is a small village 50 kilometres north of Westport. It is named after New Zealand Liberal Premier, Richard Seddon.

Several coal mines operated in the area from the 1890's until the 1990's. The area contained New Zealand's first State owned mine. The others were mainly private and co-operative mines. Unlike the Brunner and Greymouth areas, coal deposits north of Westport do not have a lot gas, so there is little danger of explosions underground. Coal in the Seddonville area however does have a high sulphur content (5-6%), which was one of the reasons in recent history coal mining has ceased, as it is a 'dirtier' coal to burn.

Seddonville had a railhead until it was closed in 1981. It had been used to this point to carry coal. On the way into Seddonville, the Chasm Creek walk follows the old train line through a tunnel, and over two bridges. Submerged rail carts can be seen in the river, where at one pint they have come off the rails. The walk incorporates an area of cliffs along the Mokihinui River.
