The central shopping areas of Risca and Pontymister are built on mainly flat ground in the valley of the Ebbw River. Many of the residential areas are built on steep ground to the north, such as here on Fernlea, which climbs steeply to the NE away from the former Monmouthshire and Brecon canal. http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2238592
