Mine outfallOld home or work place · 552 yd

Explorer Tom Mine outfall is where all the dirty secrets of the earth just spew out onto the landscape. It’s got a very grumpy, industrial look about it. Smell the rust and take a pic!

Gwrhyd-Fach LonghouseLonghouse · 558 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.

Explorer Tom Gwrhyd-Fach Longhouse is a post-medieval relic that probably smells like damp wool and old secrets. If you find it, wave to the ghosts; they seem shy about introductions lately.

Mynydd JamesMountain / peak · 737 yd

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.

Panteg Ruined HouseLonghouse · 808 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.

Explorer Tom Panteg Ruined House has caught my eye in Blaenau Gwent. I bet a longhouse with a name like that could keep me talking all afternoon; I'm already inventing a daft little scene for it, and I'll stop before it turns into history.

St Paul's Church, CwmtyleriChurch · 915 yd

Explorer Tom St Paul's Church in Cwmtyleri is a 19th Century classic. It probably thinks it is much grander than it actually is. Take a picture for me and see if you can spot any interesting carvings on the windows.

Lake and crags in Cwm TyleriHeritage place · 1038 yd

Explorer Tom Lake and crags in Cwm Tyleri are having a quiet argument about who’s taller. I’d bring a sandwich, because nobody’s coming for lunch here.

Children's playground1090 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this playground.

Explorer Tom This Children's playground in Blaenau Gwent is keeping its cards close to its chest. Access is unknown, so it’s basically a wild card. Hop over the fence if you feel brave.

Coedcae TyleWood · 1612 yd

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!

Coity MountainMountain / peak · 1.0 mi

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!

The Big Pit mining museumHeritage place · 1.4 mi

Abertillery War MemorialMonument · 2.0 mi

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!

Remains of Hill Pits CottagesMountain or hill · 2.4 mi
