An enjoyable guided history walk taking in Ogmore Castle, Merthyr Mawr, New inn, the Dipping bridge and Hut 9 prisoner of war camp. I always love hearing the story of Cap Goch the prolific murderer who hid the bodies all around this area! #Bridgend #ValeofGlamorgan #OgmoreCastle #MerthyrMawr #DippingBridge #Hut9 #PrisonerOfWar #CapGoch #Wales #Cymru

Inspired by a book about Iolo Morgannwg I went searching for clues around Bridgend. Unfortunately this stone circle was created a few hundred years after his death in 1998. I’m pretty sure Iolo would have wondered over to the 15th Century New Inn dipping bridge at Merthyr Mawr to inspect the stonework. #Iolo #Morgannwg #Gorsedd #Bard #Penybont #NewInn #DippingBridge #MerthyrMawr #Wales

@anamckellar it’s not a myth. This photo was from 1948, no idea when they stopped doing this. #SheepOfMastodon #sheep #MerthyrMawr #DippingBridge

Another Slow Ways route completed. I’m hoping my review and survey will get the route verified! It’s a fantastic route and ‘secret’ Bridgend at its finest. #SlowWays #Bridgend #Porthcawl #PenybontYrOgwr #MerthyrMawr #NewInn #Donkey #SheepOfMastodon #Nature #Spring #Cerdedd #LongDistanceWalking #DippingBridge
