Blaengarw CollieryCoal Mine · 1 ydExplorer Tom Blaengarw Colliery in Bridgend has a plaque that looks older than the hills themselves. Post Medieval coal mining history right there. I bet the plaque knows more secrets than you do. Give it a tap for luck.
Bethania Baptist Chapel, Herbert Street, BlaengarwChapel · 317 ydExplorer Tom Bethania Baptist Chapel in Blaengarw spans centuries, which is impressive for Herbert Street. 19th to 20th century history. It’s probably full of old hymns. Take a photo for me!
Carn-yr-hyrddodArchaeological place · 1211 ydExplorer Tom Carn-yr-hyrddod in Bridgend sounds like a fancy Welsh rock pile. It’s an archaeological site, so probably full of secrets. Don’t trip on it, that’d be embarrassing for us.

Cwm Gelli WernLevel · 1458 ydExplorer Tom Cwm Gelli Wern in Bridgend is a post-medieval level from the 19th century that looks like a giant’s stepping stone. I bet it’s slippery when wet, which is always.
