Blaencaerau CollieryCoal Mine · 399 yd

Explorer Tom Blaencaerau Colliery in Bridgend has a restored tip that looks like a hill of black sand. Post Medieval coal mining at its finest. I’d bet there are still nuggets hidden in the dirt. Dig around if you dare!

Noddfa Welsh Baptist Chapel, Caerau Road, CaerauChapel · 698 yd

Explorer Tom Nodufa Welsh Baptist Chapel on Caerau Road is standing there looking all serious. Post Medieval vibes mean it's got stories to tell. Maybe ask it about the old blacksmiths nearby?

Explorer Tom Dyffryn Boundary Stone in Bridgend is playing keep-away with the neighbours. It’s been marking lines forever but nobody wants to know where they go. Find it, take a selfie, and see if it’s still standing straight.

Explorer Tom Moorland and stone wall remains on Mynydd Pwll-yr-Iwrch in Bridgend looks like the landscape is slowly crumbling into soup. Stone walls are falling apart, mate. Watch your step or you’ll miss dinner.
