St James's Church, BlaengarwChurch · 70 ydExplorer Tom St James's Church in Blaengarw is a 19th Century former Anglican beauty. It might be empty, or it might have secrets. Take a photo from the kerb!
Nant HirTrial Mine · 207 ydExplorer Tom Nant Hir in Bridgend has a footbridge and a wooden bench, which is suspiciously comfy for a trial mine. Maybe it was used by miners who wanted a smoke break. Sit on it for luck, but don't stay long.

PontycymerSettlement · 1575 ydExplorer Tom Pontycymer in Bridgend has outlived every century except maybe my motivation. It's still kicking from the 21st century onwards. Grab a shot of this stubborn settlement for me, yeah?
Cwm Gelli WernLevel · 1681 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.
