Blaenavon Ironworks , Torfaen (By gasbag43)

Blaenavon Ironworks is a former industrial site which is now a museum in Blaenavon, Wales. The ironworks was of crucial importance in the development of the ability to use cheap, low quality, high sulphur iron ores worldwide. It was the site of the experiments that led to "the basic steel process" or "Gilchrist–Thomas process".

The ironworks is on the outskirts of Blaenavon, in the borough of Torfaen, within the Blaenavon Industrial Landscape, a World Heritage Site. The site is under the care of Cadw, the Welsh Government's historic environment service.

It is approximately 1 mile from the Big Pit national coal museum and adjacent steam railway so all 3 can be wrapped up in one visit to the area

Llangynidr Bridge , Powys (By gasbag43)

Llangynidr Bridge is an early 18th-century bridge that crosses the River Usk to the north of Llangynidr, Powys, Wales and is thought by some to be the oldest bridge on the River Usk

It is similar in style to the Crickhowell Bridge over the Usk, which dates from 1706. It has six arches, is 69 m (230 ft) long and the road is 2.4 m (8 ft) wide so a very tight squeeze to drive over…

The bridge became a Grade II listed structure in 1952; it was upgraded to Grade I in 2003 as one of the best early road bridges in Wales, ranked equally with Crickhowell Bridge.

Nantgwyllt Church, Powys (By gasbag43)

In 1893 the City of Birmingham launched an ambitious scheme to supply fresh drinking water for its growing population. The plan entailed the creation of a reservoir system 75 miles away in the Elan Valley of northern Wales, just west of Rhayader, flooding some 18 dwellings, scattered farms, a church, chapel, and schoolhouse at Nantgwyllt.
The old church, along with the manor house and nearby cottages, were swallowed up by the waters and lost forever when Caban Coch dam was built, but in 1898 a new church was begun on high ground overlooking the Garreg-ddu viaduct.

The church was more than a practical replacement for the lost medieval church - it was carefully sited to achieve maximum aesthetic impact, aligning with the viaduct and the Foel valve tower at the north end of the viaduct to create a picturesque scene.

It’s a nice site to visit, with great views from the ground and from a drone

St Ives, Cornwall, Penwith (By TMVideos)

Multiple places to take off, I parked up in one of the car parks that I have marked and took a small walk up on to the grassed area. Not too many seagulls as they are probably all robbing ice creams off people in the high street, but beware.
