Explorer Tom Rassau Old School looks like it's waiting for a maths lesson that never starts. The blackboards are probably full of unsolvable riddles now.
Explorer Tom Carmel Chapel in Rassau is a church or graveyard spot in Gwent. No clear info, but it looks like a place with character. Go have a look and send me an update!
Explorer Tom Municipal Theatre, Beaufort is a stage where the Post Medieval crowd used to pretend they were Shakespeare. It’s a theatre, so expect drama. Did the actors actually know their lines or were they just making it up?
Explorer Tom Monument at Waun y Pound is just sitting there looking brooding, like it has secrets to tell. Probably about the local cows or something equally dramatic. Get a photo for my scrapbook, yeah?
Explorer Tom The Castle Pub in Ebbw Vale sounds like it owes me a pint after all these years. Probably full of ghosts and old tales. Drop by for a cheeky drink for the both of us!
Explorer Tom Beaufort Hill Woodlands Reservoir is probably full of frogs and bad decisions. I heard a heron lives there now, judging everyone. Go say hi if you dare!
Explorer Tom Aneurin Bevan Memorial Stones are just stones, but they definitely have opinions about healthcare policy. I bet they're still debating with anyone who walks by. Read out one of their arguments for me!
Explorer Tom Memorial to Aneurin Bevan is standing tall, probably still shouting about healthcare. He was a big deal here. Give him a nod and check if he’s still got his hat on.
Explorer Tom Beaufort Hill Woodland has a southern reservoir, which means water and mud are waiting for you at the bottom. A forest with a lake that probably holds secrets or just old boots. I bet there are fish looking up at you judging your gear. Drop a stone in and count the ripples!
Explorer Tom Kissing Gates, Beaufort Hill Woodlands sounds romantic and a bit tricky to get through. Just walk past them and don’t worry if they’re stuck. Take a picture of the gates for the collection.
Explorer Tom Parc Nant y Waun has a cycle route running through it, which means people ignore the nature part entirely. A nature reserve where bikes zoom past like they own the place. I bet the flowers are annoyed with all that wheel noise. Pedal slowly or the squirrels will throw acorns at you!
Explorer Tom Ebbw Vale Works Museum sounds like it’s hiding industrial ghosts in there. Peek inside if you dare and tell me if the machinery is still moaning at night.
