Ebbw Vale

Ebbw Vale was a town in the south-east of Wales. It was located in mountainous terrain.

Nearby towns included Abergavenny to the north-east, Abertillery to the south-east and Rhymney to the south-west. Local small towns and villages included Blaenavon to the east. To the north of the town was a national park and roughly east of the town was Coity Mountain.

Ebbw Vale appeared on Mary Cooper's map of overflow camps in and around Wales. (TV: The Categories of Life)

Ian Chesterton mistakenly called Thomas Arundel "Ebbw Vale". (AUDIO: The Doctor's Tale)
