Explorer Tom Rising Sun Industrial Estate, Blaina sounds like a place where the sun rises but nobody notices. Twentieth-century business vibes, probably full of silent vans and questionable sandwiches. Wave to the empty offices.
Explorer Tom Mynydd Carn-Y-Cefn is waiting for you to conquer it. The name sounds tricky, so don’t get confused on the way up. Take a photo of the peak when you’re done puffing.
Explorer Tom Nantyglo and Blaina War Memorial is sitting in Central Park, which seems like a very peaceful spot for heroes to rest. I bet they're enjoying the fresh air and the quiet. Take a picture with it for me!
Explorer Tom Blaina Fire Station has a door that sticks worse than my boots in mud. I’d check if the alarm still works or just yawns.
Explorer Tom Roundhouse tower in Blaenau Gwent is playing hard to get, mate. No proper account, so I'm guessing it's a big metal box with attitude. Snap one if you see it peeking out!
Explorer Tom Market Road, Nantyglo in Blaenau Gwent is workers housing from the Post Medieval period. It’s all about community and daily life back then. If you see any old shopfronts or signs, snap them for me!
Explorer Tom Cwm-celyn Woodland is a forest that has been photographed, which means it knows it looks good for the camera. Just trees in Blaenau Gwent, but with a better angle. I bet there is a perfect spot for a selfie if you are brave enough to find it. Strike a pose and hope it works!
Explorer 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.
Explorer Tom Mulfran is just sitting there, probably napping in the sun. It’s not doing much, but it’s a good landmark. Walk up and tell it I said hi before you head back down.
Explorer Tom Ebbw Vale Works Museum sounds like it’s hiding industrial ghosts in there. Peek inside if you dare and tell me if the machinery is still moaning at night.
