St. Illtyd's Church, located in Llanhilleth, is the oldest building in northwest Gwent, believed to have origins dating back to the fifth century. Traditionally, it was first a wooden structure before being rebuilt by Cistercian monks in the late twelfth century, with much of the current fabric dating from that period.

The church is a Grade II listed building and underwent significant renovations in the mid-19th century, including the addition of a bell tower and an attractive cradle ceiling. Though it was closed in 1957 due to nearby coal mining and fell into disrepair, the church remains a site of historical interest for the local community.

Festival Park Owl Sanctuary

The Festival Park Owl Sanctuary, located in Ebbw Vale, has been dedicated to the rehabilitation and care of injured, abandoned, and uncared for wild owls, hawks, and falcons since its establishment in 1998. While many of the birds are eventually released back into the wild, some remain at the sanctuary due to injury or being bred in captivity. Visitors can enjoy free entry to the sanctuary and are encouraged to make donations to support its ongoing efforts. Recent improvements, including clear directional signage, have made it easier than ever for guests to find and appreciate the sanctuary's collection of birds of prey from around the world.
