Lower Trostre Ironworks, Nant-y-GloIron Works · 297 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.Explorer 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!
Cwm Celyn Ironworks, Blaina; Cwmcelyn IronworksIron Works · 566 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.Explorer Tom Cwm Celyn Ironworks roared in the 19th century, spewing fire and fortune for the lucky few. Now it’s just rusty metal dreaming of its loud, smoky, industrial glory days.
Mynydd Carn-Y-CefnMountain / peak · 705 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.
Nantyglo and Blaina War MemorialMemorial · 757 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!
Blaina Fire StationHeritage place · 782 ydExplorer 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.
Bethel Baptist Chapel, NantygloChapel · 795 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?
Children's playground890 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this playground.Explorer 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 · 1477 ydExplorer Tom Roundhouse Farm, Nantyglo has caught my eye in Blaenau Gwent. I bet a fortified house 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.
Roundhouse towerCastle, fort or tower · 1489 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!
Cwm-celyn WoodlandForest or wood · 1753 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!
Footpath to the side of the A467 from the Wesley bridgeHeritage place · 1.1 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.
MulfranMountain / peak · 1.2 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.
