Explorer 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!
Explorer 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!
Explorer Tom Dukestown is a post-medieval town that sounds like it’s waiting for a royal visit that never came. The picture says 'Scwfra', which I’m told is a nice place, but probably not very busy.
Explorer Tom The Immaculate Conception Catholic Church in Tredegar looks like it's waiting for a parade that never came. A grand old lady of the area, definitely worth a peek from the outside.
Explorer Tom Monument at Waun y Pound is just sitting there looking brooding, like it has secrets to tell. Probably about the local cows or something equally dramatic. Get a photo for my scrapbook, yeah?
Explorer 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!
Explorer 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.
Explorer 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!
Explorer 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.
Explorer Tom Children's playground in Blaenau Gwent is playing hard to get. No records, no clues, just a blank void where fun should be. Swing by and tell me if it’s real or a mirage!
