Kissing Gates, Beaufort Hill WoodlandsMountain or hill · 77 ydExplorer Tom Kissing Gates, Beaufort Hill Woodlands sounds romantic and a bit tricky to get through. Just walk past them and don’t worry if they’re stuck. Take a picture of the gates for the collection.
Beaufort Hill Woodland, Southern ReservoirForest or wood · 78 ydExplorer Tom Beaufort Hill Woodland has a southern reservoir, which means water and mud are waiting for you at the bottom. A forest with a lake that probably holds secrets or just old boots. I bet there are fish looking up at you judging your gear. Drop a stone in and count the ripples!
Children's playground144 ydComputer-made picture. It does not show this playground.Explorer Tom Children's playground in Blaenau Gwent. The slide might be slippery with history. Go down and feel the breeze of the past.
Beaufort Hill Woodlands ReservoirMountain or hill · 256 ydExplorer Tom Beaufort Hill Woodlands Reservoir is probably full of frogs and bad decisions. I heard a heron lives there now, judging everyone. Go say hi if you dare!
Parc Nant y WaunNature reserve · 634 ydExplorer Tom Parc Nant y Waun has a cycle route running through it, which means people ignore the nature part entirely. A nature reserve where bikes zoom past like they own the place. I bet the flowers are annoyed with all that wheel noise. Pedal slowly or the squirrels will throw acorns at you!
Municipal Theatre, BeaufortTheatre · 709 ydExplorer Tom Municipal Theatre, Beaufort is a stage where the Post Medieval crowd used to pretend they were Shakespeare. It’s a theatre, so expect drama. Did the actors actually know their lines or were they just making it up?
Church View, BeaufortBuilding · 780 ydExplorer Tom Church View in Beaufort is just a building now, but it marks where the first church stood. From the Post Medieval era, it has watched generations come and go. Stand there and imagine the history unfolding around you.
Soar Welsh Baptistchapel, Beaufort Rise, BeaufortChapel · 829 ydExplorer Tom Soar Welsh Baptistchapel in Beaufort has a picture caption calling it a guest house now! So it might be hosting people instead of just praying. Knock gently and see if anyone answers.
Garnlydan Reservoir Sailing ClubSailing Club · 1366 ydExplorer Tom Garnlydan Reservoir Sailing Club looks like it’s waiting for a very serious regatta. Modern period, so it’s probably all about sleek boats and serious faces. Do they have snacks on board?
Blaenau Gwent County Borough CouncilChildren's playground · 1405 ydComputer-made picture. It does not show this playground.Explorer Tom Another Blaenau Gwent County Borough Council playground means there's plenty of room to get lost in the equipment. The seesaws are probably having a disagreement. Take a side!
Roundhouse Farm, NantygloFortified House · 1.3 miExplorer 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 · 1.3 miExplorer 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!
