Rhymney

Travel Guide

This imposing, twisted chimney stands 8 metres at the north of the Rhymney Valley, for all travelling on A465 to see. It was designed by New York based artist Brian Tolle and is his first installation in the UK. The sculpture was unveiled in 2010 and aims to create a futuristic vision rather than a being a literal depiction of the areas past. It is sited near the former Union Ironworks and on land that was once a railway line, and was created with input from the residents of Bute Town.

For those enthusiastic Ramblers and those who appreciate Landscape beautiful views looking over to Pontlottyn, Abertysswg, Rhymney and many other Welsh Valleys.
Drone shot i took a few days ago of my home village the houses to the left of the photograph. Beautiful scenic area and plenty of mountains for you enthusiastic Ramblers. Not much to do regarding Tourism but beautiful views if you love Landscape.
