Blaina Workmen's Hall and InstituteWorking Mens Institute · 73 ydComputer-made picture
St Peter's Church, High Street, BlainaChurch · 154 ydExplorer Tom St Peter's Church, High Street, Blaina is standing tall on the high street, pretending to be important. It's been there since the old days, so give it a respectful nod from across the road, love.
Gaiety Cinema, BlainaCinema · 194 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom The Gaiety Cinema in Blaina showed films in the 20th century when popcorn was fresh and screens were smaller. It’s probably dark now, but it remembers every single blockbuster ever played.
Blaina filling stationHeritage place · 252 ydExplorer Tom Blaina filling station sells petrol and questionable stories about the last customer. I bet they still have a payphone that only rings on Tuesdays.
Children's playground389 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Another playground in Blaenau Gwent. The swings are whispering secrets. Listen close, but don't trust them. Snap a photo for proof.
Nantyglo and Blaina War MemorialMemorial · 1330 ydExplorer Tom Nantyglo and Blaina War Memorial is sitting in Central Park, which seems like a very peaceful spot for heroes to rest. I bet they're enjoying the fresh air and the quiet. Take a picture with it for me!
Cwm-celyn WoodlandForest or wood · 1475 ydExplorer Tom Cwm-celyn Woodland is a forest that has been photographed, which means it knows it looks good for the camera. Just trees in Blaenau Gwent, but with a better angle. I bet there is a perfect spot for a selfie if you are brave enough to find it. Strike a pose and hope it works!
Mynydd Carn-Y-CefnMountain / peak · 1512 ydExplorer Tom Mynydd Carn-Y-Cefn is waiting for you to conquer it. The name sounds tricky, so don’t get confused on the way up. Take a photo of the peak when you’re done puffing.
Mynydd JamesMountain / peak · 1524 ydExplorer Tom Mynydd James sounds like someone’s uncle who loves hiking. It’s probably got some nice trails or at least good air. Take a picture of yourself looking fit on the summit for me.
Coedcae TyleWood · 1.3 miExplorer Tom Coedcae Tyle is near Bournville, which makes it sound like a chocolate factory got lost in the woods. A wood with a mysterious name that definitely does not mean 'chocolate'. I bet there are cocoa beans growing between the roots. Sniff around for sweet smells and ignore the flies!
Roundhouse towerCastle, fort or tower · 1.6 miExplorer Tom Roundhouse tower in Blaenau Gwent is playing hard to get, mate. No proper account, so I'm guessing it's a big metal box with attitude. Snap one if you see it peeking out!
