Bridgend is built on a crossing point on the river Ogmore. It is first mentioned in a document dated 1444 but its history stretches back to the Dark Ages. Its old and “new” castles are testament to its strategic value throughout the medieval period. A story which continues with the building of its 15th Century bridge and the routing of the Glamorgan Turnpike through it in the 19th Century. On this walk we uncover all the places and buildings hidden in plain site that tell the story of this fascinating old town.
Merthyr Mawr has to be one of the most picturesque villages in the country. This walks takes in all the sights. Including the medieval bridge with mysterious holes in the walls. But this sleepy village has seen its fair share of horrors. We visit the site of an inn where terrifying events took place. And we visit the prisoner of war camp where the German POWs tunnelled out to freedom.
