Exploring the Heritage Landscape VMA Forgotten Landscapes Project Landscape Conservation Action Plan 5.20 Project: Exploring the Heritage Landscape VMA Short Trails from the Principal Gateways VMA 1 Secondary Gateways and Trails VMA 2 5.20.1 Introduction In the main access will rely on existing provision and will comprise: Short, circular trails – a series of routes of between one and two hours duration emanating from Gateways. They will follow existing Rights of Way and take visitors past heritage features. Family cycle trails – circular routes of an easy half day duration commencing from Gateways and utilising quiet roads, parts of the National Cycle Network and historic transport features. Cross country riding routes – longer distance circular routes based on the bridleway network that can be enjoyed by horse riders, cyclists and walkers. These will also provide a strategic link into the wider landscape. All of these routes will take the visitor to a range of heritage features and be supported by printed and downloadable guides. This Programme also includes actions that will enhance these routes through the installation of high quality signage and interpretation. Promoted family cycle trails The chosen routes are proposed to commence from existing gateways situated on the cycleway network: 5.20.2 Links with other Programmes Delivery Plan Implementation Programme Code A B C VMA 1 GEO 1 GEO 2 VOL 1 EV 1 VMC 1-3 IOS 2 ARC 5 STS 1 EV 2 SCED 1 IM 2 IM 3 VMA 2 GEO 1 GEO 2 ELIG 2 ELIG 4 VOL 1 VMC 1-3 IOS 2 EV 1 EV 2 SCED 1 IOS 3 IM 1 IM 2 IM 3 5.20.3 Primary Aims and Outcomes Primary Aims To promote to target audiences the easy exploration of the Forgotten Landscapes from the principal gateways.

Many keen walkers and special interest groups are already visiting the area and using the promoted longer trails (e.g. the Iron Mountain Trail) or planning their own itineraries. To encourage the target audiences (see below) to venture out onto this exposed and rugged terrain it is proposed to promote a series of shorter circular trails of between one and two hours duration from the visitor gateways. These will provide a relatively easy introduction to some of the features in the heritage landscape and will be supported by the proposed visitor information and interpretative media. As the routes are relatively short this will make them easier to guide and interpret to visitors. These trails will be four of ten routes that have been identified in total, all of which will be promoted on a single broadsheet leaflet (see separate Delivery Plan IOS 3). The established principal visitor arrival points or ‘gateways’ are at St Peter’s World Heritage Centre (WHC), the Big Pit National Mining Museum, Blaenavon Ironworks and Abergavenny TIC. These are well signed from the main approaches and visitors can find secure parking, toilets, refreshments and information, interpretation and orientation at the gateways. The circular trails from each of these gateways are as follows: 1. World Heritage Centre to Big Pit via Forgeside and the ‘Dragons Teeth’ 2. Blaenavon Ironworks to Hills Pits past the Pwll Du tunnel portal 3. Big Pit to Whistle Inn via the Coity Tip 4. Abergavenny TIC to Govilon Wharf via the Monmouthhire and Brecon Canal The routes for the Trails are described in more detail in the attached route description sheets. The routes for the Trails are described in more detail in the attached Appendix The project work will provide clear way-marking and route improvements where required. Information and interpretation for the trails will be developed under other proposals (see separate Delivery Plans VMC 2, VMC 3, IOS 3, IM 2, IM 3) NB: There is a promoted Blaenavon Town Heritage Trail that connects the World Heritage Centre with the Blaenavon Ironworks. This is not included here but it will also be promoted in conjunction with the short trails. 38 Section 5 Programme C Visitor Management & Interpretation Projects VMA 1 & 2 Forgotten Landscapes Project Landscape Conservation Action Plan Aims • To promote the easy exploration of the Forgotten Landscapes from the principal gateways to target audiences. • To raise awareness and understanding of the natural and cultural heritage of the landscape. • To remove or reduce physical barriers to access to the heritage landscape Objectives • To establish and promote four trails • To provide coherent branded way-marking on each route • To implement route improvements as follows: - WHC to Big Pit: Install short link to ‘Dragon’s Teeth’ micro-hydro site - Blaenavon Ironworks to Hills Pit: Drainage improvements and new easy-access gates, access to Pwll Du tunnel southern portal - Big Pit to Whistle Inn: Drainage and surface improvements and new easy-access gates.

  • The Blaenavon Ironmasters
    THE BLAENAVON IRONMASTERS The industrial revolution would never have occurred if it were not for the risks and innovation of entrepreneurs. In south Wales, during the late eighteenth century, ironmasters set up a string of new ironworks, making the region the most important iron-producing region in the world. The labouring classes undeniably played a hugely significant role in the industrialisation process but it was the capital and experience of businessmen that made the industrial revolution a success. This article examines the history of the Blaenavon ironmasters and how they used their experience and their influence to create the town of Blaenavon. The Experience of the Blaenavon Ironmasters The leases for the area of Blaenavon, known as ‘Lord Abergavenny’s Hills’, were not renewed during the 1780s. The West Midlands industrialist, Thomas Hill (1736-1824), and his partners, Thomas Hopkins (d.1793) and Benjamin Pratt (1742-1794), seized the opportunity to invest in the Blaenavon site, which they knew was rich in mineral resources. The businessmen invested some £40,000 into the ironworks project and erected three blast furnaces. It was an incredibly risky venture but the three men were confident that the enterprise would be a large-scale success and that their investment would provide considerable returns. The experience that all three men had acquired in iron-making, business and banking, proved invaluable in numerous ways. Family Background Thomas Hill, the leading partner, came from a very wealthy industrial background. He was a successful Worcestershire banker and ran Wollaston slitting mill. Hill had also inherited a considerable fortune from his father, Waldron Hill (1706-88), and his uncle, Thomas Hill (1711-82), who were successful glassmakers at Coalbournhill, Stourbridge.

  • Landscape Character Area 11: EASTERN USK VALLEY LANDSCAPE CHARACTER AREA 11: EASTERN USK VALLEY Broad Landscape Type: SETTLED VALLEYS
    Landscape Character Area 11: EASTERN USK VALLEY LANDSCAPE CHARACTER AREA 11: EASTERN USK VALLEY Broad Landscape Type: SETTLED VALLEYS Description Location and Context This linear LCA includes the floor and lower sides of the Usk Valley. It extends from Pencelli to the eastern edge of the National Park near Abergavenny, and includes several settlements including Crickhowell, Talybont and Bwlch. It has nine adjacent LCAs, including the high land of the Central Beacons to the west and the Black Mountains to the east. Summary Description This settled, luxuriant valley contrasts with the surrounding open and craggy hills. Its wide, flat valley floor with its patchwork of fields is an important transport route, containing main roads and the Monmouthshire and Brecon Canal. A fertile, agricultural landscape, the Usk Valley is also strongly influenced by parkland planting and in places is densely wooded. The valley has a long history of settlement, and contains several villages, numerous farms and country houses with their associated grounds. A series of Iron Age hillforts overlook the valley, and the southern part has industrial links with the Clydach Gorge and Blaenavon Industrial Landscape World Heritage Site. The Usk Valley west of Crickhowell Historical Development of the Landscape The development of this landscape reflects its strategic role as a key route and transport corridor over millennia, as well as its long use for traditional agriculture and industry. Iron Age hillforts are prominent on the valley sides, with later defensive features including a series of Medieval mottes and castles such as Tretower. Villages developed at crossing points of the river, with some historic bridges surviving.
