Bedford Park
This park has about 18 hectares of green space and ruins of the 18th Century Cefn Cribwr Ironworks.
The Site of Interest for Nature Conservation (SINC) has a mixture of habitats.
These are mainly broadleaved woodland with rush pastures, purple moor grass, scrub, bracken, rivers and ponds.
Part of the SINC, ‘Waun Cimla’ is a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) due to its marshy habitats, rare plants, and marsh fritillary butterflies.
Also, dormice have been recorded here, which makes it one of only a few sites in Bridgend County Borough with this European protected species.
Keeper of the Past
The 'Keeper of the Past' is one of our ‘Nature Keeper’ oak sculptures.
They add interest to our beauty spots, and with the accompanying poetry, they capture the imagination of younger visitors by interweaving mythology into the sites.
Their aim is to spark an emotional connection to our green spaces, and so encourage people to visit as well as care more for them. Five are at Bryngarw Country Park, and 10 are across the rest of Bridgend County Borough.
