Ogof Draenen (Welsh for Hawthorn Cave) is, at 66 km (official figure; the true length of passage is still being revised upward, with a rough modern approximation at it being 70 km), the longest cave system in Wales and the second longest in Great Britain behind the Easegill System, Lost Johns and Notts 2 system in North Yorkshire. The cave was known only as a small entrance on a steep hillside until several years of digging broke through into major passage development in October 1994.
Monmouthshire and Brecon Canal
The Monmouthshire and Brecon Canal is a small network of canals in South Wales. For most of its 35-mile length it runs through the Brecon Beacons National Park, and its present rural character and tranquillity belies its original purpose as an industrial corridor for coal and iron, which were brought to the canal by a network of tramways and/or railroads, many of which were built and owned by the canal company.
Gilwern
Gilwern is a village in Monmouthshire, Wales. The name is translated from the Welsh language as "the nook near the alder grove". It is within the Llanelly parish ward of Monmouthshire County Council, 4 miles west of market town of Abergavenny.

A section of it forms the administrative border between Powys and Monmouthshire and also of the historic counties of Brecon and Monmouth.

It consists of a 46 m guyed lattice mast carrying the aerials at the top. This structure was built on a 440 m hill known as Gilwern Hill overlooking the towns of Gilwern and Abergavenny in Monmouthshire, South Wales.
