Blaenau Gwent and its surrounding area was at the forefront of the industrial revolution in the 19th century. The county is rich with historic buildings, ancient monuments and important heritage sites, all set within a very attractive landscape. Gwent was the South Wales kingdom founded by Caradoc Freichfras. It stretched from the river Rhymney all the way to the river Wye, and it may also have extended east of the river Wye into the Forest of Dean. The Blaenau are the mountainous uplands of this historic Gwent kingdom.
