Lower Trostre Ironworks, Nant-y-GloIron Works · 256 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Lower Trostre Ironworks in Nant-y-Glo was a real powerhouse in the 19th Century. It's likely full of industrial ghosts now, so if you see any old machinery or ruins, send me a pic!
Coalbrookvale Iron Works, Nant-y-GloIron Works · 442 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Coalbrookvale Iron Works in Nant-y-Glo was a 19th-century powerhouse that turned ore into money. It’s probably quiet now, but the ground still remembers the heat of the furnaces.
Bethel Baptist Chapel, NantygloChapel · 656 ydExplorer Tom Bethel Baptist Chapel in Nantyglo has a photo of its former self! So it might be gone or changed. The record says chapel, but the picture says 'former'. A bit mysterious, isn't it?
Rising Sun Industrial Estate, BlainaIndustrial Estate · 702 ydExplorer 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.
Nantyglo and Blaina War MemorialMemorial · 719 ydExplorer 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!
Mynydd Carn-Y-CefnMountain / peak · 852 ydExplorer 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.
Children's playground916 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Children's playground in Blaenau Gwent is playing hide-and-seek with the map makers. No access info, no history. Just go look and see if it’s actually there.
Roundhouse Farm, NantygloFortified House · 1287 yd
Roundhouse towerCastle, fort or tower · 1296 ydExplorer 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!
Footpath to the side of the A467 from the Wesley bridgeHeritage place · 1726 ydExplorer 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.
Cwm-celyn WoodlandForest or wood · 1751 ydExplorer 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!
MulfranMountain / peak · 1.1 miExplorer 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.
