Children's playground649 ydComputer-made picture. It does not show this playground.Explorer Tom Children's playground in Blaenau Gwent. I bet the sandbox contains maps to lost cities. Dig deep, but watch for snakes.
Nine Arches Viaduct;Blaen y Cwm Viaduct;Dukestown Viaduct, TredegarRailway Viaduct · 813 ydExplorer Tom Nine Arches Viaduct in Tredegar is showing off its nine arches like a peacock. It’s post-medieval railway grandeur. I bet it thinks it’s the only thing worth looking at!
The Castle Pub, Ebbw ValeCastle, fort or tower · 1452 ydExplorer Tom The Castle Pub in Ebbw Vale sounds like it owes me a pint after all these years. Probably full of ghosts and old tales. Drop by for a cheeky drink for the both of us!

The Immaculate Conception Catholic Church, TredegarChurch · 1559 ydExplorer Tom The Immaculate Conception Catholic Church in Tredegar looks like it's waiting for a parade that never came. A grand old lady of the area, definitely worth a peek from the outside.
DukestownTown · 1646 ydExplorer Tom Dukestown is a post-medieval town that sounds like it’s waiting for a royal visit that never came. The picture says 'Scwfra', which I’m told is a nice place, but probably not very busy.
Parc Bryn Bach Visitor CentreVisitor information · 1728 ydExplorer Tom Duke’s Table spring in Blaenau Gwent sounds like where nobles used to wash their feet. The water might be cold enough to wake the dead. Take a dip if you’re brave enough!
Island on Bryn Bach Park lakeIsland · 1.1 miExplorer Tom Island on Bryn Bach Park lake looks like it’s having a lazy afternoon. Is there a hermit living there? Check if anyone is fishing and say hello to the ducks on your behalf.
Sirhowy Ironworks, TredegarIron Works · 1.1 miExplorer Tom Sirhowy Ironworks, Tredegar has caught my eye in Blaenau Gwent. I bet a iron works 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.
Aneurin Bevan Memorial StonesMemorial · 1.3 miExplorer Tom Aneurin Bevan Memorial Stones are just stones, but they definitely have opinions about healthcare policy. I bet they're still debating with anyone who walks by. Read out one of their arguments for me!
Memorial to Aneurin BevanHeritage place · 1.3 miExplorer Tom Memorial to Aneurin Bevan is standing tall, probably still shouting about healthcare. He was a big deal here. Give him a nod and check if he’s still got his hat on.
Mountain poolMountain or hill · 1.4 mi
Duke's TableSpring · 1.9 miExplorer Tom Children's playground in Blaenau Gwent is playing hard to get. No records, no clues, just a blank void where fun should be. Swing by and tell me if it’s real or a mirage!
