Collieries Memorial

Explorer Tom Former National School on Alma Street taught kids in the 19th Century how to be quiet. Now it’s silent! Take a photo for me, maybe a ghost will pose for you!

Explorer Tom Abertillery Fire Station looks like it’s waiting for a fire to start so it can justify its existence. Classic move, really.

Explorer Tom Abertillery & District Museum is full of dusty things that probably want to get out and see the world. I bet the exhibits are plotting a quiet escape during closing time. Peek in and see who's awake!

Explorer Tom Abertillery War Memorial is standing tall and proud, keeping watch over the whole district. I bet it's got a great view of all the local doings. Snap a photo from underneath it if you can!

Explorer Tom Six Bells Park has a name that sounds like a noisy pub, but it's probably very quiet. The bells aren't ringing, I think they're just sleeping in. Wake one up!

Explorer 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!

Explorer Tom Graig Fawr is a big forest that thinks it is special because it has a footpath. Just a woodland walk really, but with better marketing. The trees are probably gossiping about who climbed the highest last Tuesday. Take a photo for me if you spot any suspiciously tall pines.

Explorer 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.

Explorer Tom Llanhilleth Colliery Memorial is sitting in Granny's Wood, which sounds like a place where the trees whisper secrets. I bet the miners are still telling jokes to the roots. Listen carefully for any giggling!

Explorer Tom Coity Mountain is covered in grassy moorland, which means mud is coming. It’s not exactly a beach, but it’s got character. Take a picture of the top if you make it up!
