Comprehensive schoolHeritage place · 1015 ydExplorer 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.
Church of St Mary The Virgin, King Street, BrynmawrChurch · 1110 ydExplorer 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!
Vicarage, BrynmawrVicarage · 1133 ydExplorer 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?
Garnlydan Reservoir Sailing ClubSailing Club · 1373 ydExplorer Tom Garnlydan Reservoir Sailing Club looks like it’s waiting for a very serious regatta. Modern period, so it’s probably all about sleek boats and serious faces. Do they have snacks on board?
Brynmawr and District MuseumMuseum · 1557 ydExplorer 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!
Parc Nant y WaunNature reserve · 1.1 miExplorer 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!
Mynydd LlangatwgMountain / peak · 1.1 mi
Kissing Gates, Beaufort Hill WoodlandsMountain or hill · 1.1 miExplorer 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.
Beaufort Hill Woodlands ReservoirMountain or hill · 1.2 miExplorer 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!
Beaufort Hill Woodland, Southern ReservoirForest or wood · 1.2 miExplorer 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!
Footpath to the side of the A467 from the Wesley bridgeHeritage place · 1.5 miExplorer 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.
