Clydach Coal Level

Explorer Tom The Comprehensive school is empty but echoes with the sound of a thousand lost pencils. It’s spooky, or just really bad at holding its own walls up.

Explorer Tom Church of St Mary The Virgin in Brynmawr is feeling fancy. Nineteenth-century church, which means proper stonework and likely very cold inside. I’d check the windows for any interesting saints or weird cracks. Wave to Mary!

Explorer Tom Vicarage, Brynmawr is a Grade II listed building that probably thinks it’s better than everyone else. Post Medieval vicarage? The vicar definitely had a big ego. Does he still live there or is it just ghosts now?

Explorer Tom Brynmawr and District Museum might be full of local legends or just old chairs. Either way, if you see anything that looks like it's judging you, snap it!

Explorer Tom Mulfran is just sitting there, probably napping in the sun. It’s not doing much, but it’s a good landmark. Walk up and tell it I said hi before you head back down.

Explorer Tom Footpath to the side of the A467 from the Wesley bridge sounds like a proper walk. Just don’t let the cars bully you. Take a picture of the view if it’s not too muddy.

Explorer Tom Twyn Carn-Canddo is right there, looking out over the valley. It’s got a grand name, so treat it with respect. If you can get to the top, take a panoramic shot for me.

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 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!
