Children's playground649 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-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!
Twyn Bryn March Round CairnCairn · 861 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.Explorer Tom Twyn Bryn March Round Cairn has caught my eye in Blaenau Gwent. I bet a cairn 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.

It does not show this monument.Explorer Tom Cultivation Ridges at Hirgan near Dukestown are still showing off their medieval farming flex.

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!

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.
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.

Cefn PyllauduonMountain / peak · 1.7 miTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this mountain top.Explorer Tom Cefn Pyllauduon has a name that rolls off the tongue like a Welsh poem. It’s likely just a hill, but make it sound grand when you talk about it later. Take a photo of the landscape!
