Where to stay in Ebbw Vale

Sculptor Robert Kennedy.

Six separate small upright works set on stone bases; two boxing gloves, two dolls, cherub and a skull. Information from Festival Park: 'The works were carved away from site during 1991. They are made to operate as conventional garden ornamentation, within a constructed garden. The boxing gloves are there to depict some of their associated aspects, such as maleness and competition. The dolls depict something of how an image is idealised for mass consumption, becoming a distortion of the human figure. Both the gloves and the dolls can be seen as gendering devices through role play. The cherub and skull are life and death charms. Each of these suggests ways in which we adopt roles in society. What we really are is never as clear cut as what these images suggest.'
     Borderline was supported by Garden Festival Wales and Chapter Arts Centre. 'The sculptor, Robert Kennedy, felt that the Garden Festival was a huge, themed social event in itself. He wanted to create a themed garden within it, something social, commenting to some extent on the diversity of culture within real society.'
     A number of sculptures were commissioned for the Garden Festival of Wales in 1991/2 and some works remain on site.

Cwm

While Cwm might not have many sights to explore, venturing just a little farther will lead you to top things to see and do like Bedwellty House and Park and Big Pit National Coal Museum.

"Very old building. Lift wasn’t working which didn’t bother me but makes it inaccessible. No aircon and room was warm with no way to open windows, but there was a fan in the room which worked ok."

"Enjoyed my stay but had a few issues with my room - light in the bathroom did not work and water pressure in the shower was low. However, the hotel overall was really lovely and I would stay again. Just make sure that you book any spa treatments in advance as these book up very quickly."
