Did the Bridgend circular walk today in glorious sunshine. Hard to imagine the views over Mynydd y Gaer looking very different, but plans for 11 turbines are on the table and part of Coity Wallia Common could be blocked to long‑used access. A reminder of how quickly landscapes and rights can change #Bridgend #PenybontArOgwr #Coity #Coety #Coychurch #Llangrallo #CoityWallia #AccessLand #Wales #Cymru #ArchwilioCymru #NYE2025 #HappyNewYear #BlwythynHapusNewydd #LlynfiValley #GarwValley #MynyddyGaer

I joined a really enjoyable history walk yesterday learning about the sieges at Coity Castle and King Arthur’s ‘real’ burial site within Coed-Y-Mwster. There are some really attractive rights of way all around the area 💚🥾🥾. #Coity #Coety #Castle #Castell #KingArthur #Bridgend #Wales #Cymru #Cadw

Coity castle and the black path in all its glory during the Bridgend Ramblers walk today. #Ramblers #PenyBont #Bridgend #Coity #Coety #Castle #Walking #Cerdded #Wales #Cymru #Tramroad

A rather wet day spent doing boys stuff with the boy. Den built, sticks sharpened and got lost in the woods in the dark. Luckily the woods were on the site of the former Glamorgan lunatic asylum and a few minutes from Parc Prison, so imaginations ran wild. #BlairWitch #HorrorMovie #Bushcraft #Coety #Coity #Bridgend #PenYBont
