Introduction

This leaflet describes a 9km (5 miles) sectionof the Bridgend Circular Walk. You should be ableto complete this section of the walk in 3 hoursbut allow more time if you are thinking of visitingsome of the sites identified in the leaflet or yousimply want to enjoy the countryside. The villages of Laleston, Pen-y-fai and Sarn haveeverything that you will need by way of facilities.

For convenience the directions below are written with Merthyr Mawr as the starting point(for this section of the walk). You could, however, equally well start from Sarn Park & Rideor any point along the route and, if travelling inthe opposite direction, simply reverse all thedirections.

If you wish to visit Ogmore Castle (1) andCastle Tea Rooms leave the car park by means ofthe swing bridge. Then follow an ancient trackand cross the River Ewenny via the steppingstones. However, you must take care as the tidescan be exceptionally dangerous as they changevery quickly and you could be isolated on thewrong side of the river. It is easy to see why theNormans built a castle here as it commands astrategic position on the River Ewenny.

To begin this section of the walk, from the carpark near the swing bridge in Merthyr Mawr –walk back towards the village green along theroad. When you get to the green follow the roadto the left and continue walking along it with thechurch on your right hand side.

Merthyr Mawr Bridgend Station Walk follow theroad to the right and continue for a short distance until you see a stone stile in front ofyou. Go over the stone stile keeping thehedgerow and wall on your right hand side. Whenyou have reached the stile opposite the entranceto Llanerch Home follow the road to the rightand take either of the signposted foopaths oneither side of the New Inn Bridge.

New Inn Bridge (6) was built in the 15thCentury. The holes in the parapets were wherefarmers once pushed reluctant sheep into theRiver Ogmore for a seasonal dip! At the side ofthe bridge there once stood an Inn where theLandLord would rob and murder travellers enroute to St. David’s shrine.

To continue on the Bridgend Circular Walk follow the footpath as signed along the roughtrack towards Whitney Farm. Before reachingthe farm take the waymarked footpath on theright hand side which leads through a smallwooded area to a wooden stile. Follow the foot-path along the field edge as waymarked on thestile with the hedgerow on your right hand side.Please note that the four fields on this section ofroute often contain cattle and other stock. Youcan help by reporting loose dogs or other prob-lems affecting stock to the farmer at WhitneyFarm. At the end of the field there is a woodenstile with an adjoining field gate. Cross this stileand follow the waymarks to a metal field gate.Go through the gate and the footpath continuesto the stone stile with the hedgerow on your lefthand side.

Cross the A48 (however take care as the traffic is usually travelling at high speeds).Follow the tarmac path and go over the stonestile. Cross the field to another stone stile andin the next field follow the well worn path tothe waymarking post at the end of the field.Take the field to the left and continue until youreach a stone stile. Go straight ahead after thestile and you will then be on High Street in the

village of Laleston.As well as being able to find most of the facil-

ities you will need the Village of Laleston also hassome interesting features.

The medieval Church of St.David (7) is locatedin the centre of the village. It sits on a slight riseabove High Street and is listed Grade 1. Parts ofthe church date back to the 13th and 14thCenturies. The church currently has four bellshanging in the tower. The oldest one was cast ata Bristol foundry in 1380 and has an inscriptionthat reads "Sancte Michael, ora pro nobis".Translated this means "St. Michael pray for us".

Situated on High Street in Laleston are also thefollowing points of interest:

The Milepost (8), which is Grade 2 listed, is agood example of an elaborately detailed cast ironmilepost. It is situated opposite the MackworthArms and was one of a series of cast-iron mile-posts erected in the 1830’s for the BridgendTurpike Trust. The Road itself was first turnpikedin 1764.

The Great House (9) is a listed Grade 2* build-ing. It is an Elizabethan manor house with partsof the building dating back to 1586. The buildingis considered to be an important survival of a larger early post medieval house. It is now a hoteland restaurant.

On High Street you will also find TheOystercatcher Public House (10), Village FarmHouse (11) and Horeb Chapel (12) all of which areGrade 2 listed.

Until 1928 when mains water became availablein the village The Well (13), which is situated offWell Street, was the main source of water.

When you reach High Street turn left and youwill note waymarks on a lighting column on theopposite side of the road. Walk between housenumbers 41 and 43 High Street and follow thelane for approximately 30 metres.

William de Londres built Ogmore Castleas early as 1116 on the South bank of the EwennyRiver where it commands a strategic position. TheCastle was not completed in one period, onebuilding was added in Tudor times, and was keptin repair until the 19th century as a court of justice, a prison and also to receive court fees,rents and other dues.

• After visiting Ogmore Castle cross the RiverEwenny via the stepping-stones to return toMerthyr Mawr. However, you must take care as thetides can be exceptionally dangerous as theychange very quickly and you could be isolated onthe wrong side of the river. Story has it that thesestones were built for the convenience of a lovestricken girl who lived in Ogmore Castle. Her loverlived across the river at Merthyr Mawr and theirtryst was impeded by tides and floods. The stepping-stones enabled them to meet each other andthey married in July 1233. The bridegroom wasWilliam de Breose.

• Ogmore Farm situated next to the Castle is one ofthe oldest established working farms inGlamorgan although the present farmhouse datesfrom the 17th Century a lease of the farm isknown to one John Walsh as long ago as 1490.
