Bethel Baptist Chapel, NantygloChapel · 525 ydExplorer Tom Bethel Baptist Chapel in Nantyglo has a photo of its former self! So it might be gone or changed. The record says chapel, but the picture says 'former'. A bit mysterious, isn't it?
Garnfach Methodist Chapel (Primitive)Chapel · 617 ydExplorer Tom Garnfach Methodist Chapel (Primitive) is keeping it old-school. Post Medieval period, so it’s been around. The photo caption mentions Nantyglo, which is confusing. Check if there’s any signage that clarifies the location or history of the place.
Nantyglo and Blaina War MemorialMemorial · 783 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!
Roundhouse Farm, NantygloFortified House · 963 yd
Roundhouse towerCastle, fort or tower · 967 ydExplorer 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!
Blaenau Hill, Cairn;Beacon Mountain, Cairn;The BeaconCairn · 1000 yd
Market Road, NantygloWorkers Housing · 1127 ydExplorer Tom Market Road, Nantyglo in Blaenau Gwent is workers housing from the Post Medieval period. It’s all about community and daily life back then. If you see any old shopfronts or signs, snap them for me!
Mynydd Carn-Y-CefnMountain / peak · 1137 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.
Footpath to the side of the A467 from the Wesley bridgeHeritage place · 1388 ydExplorer 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.
MulfranMountain / peak · 1707 ydExplorer 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.
Cwm-celyn WoodlandForest or wood · 1.0 miExplorer 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!
Ebbw Vale Works MuseumMuseum · 1.3 miExplorer 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.
