Bryngarw Country Park
Bryngarw Country Park is a country park and public garden near Brynmenyn in Bridgend County Borough, occupying the grounds of the former Bryngarw House estate and providing one of the principal countryside recreation destinations for communities in the Garw and Ogmore valleys. The park covers approximately 115 acres of woodland, meadow, formal garden and riverside habitat along the River Garw, with a Visitor Centre, café, children's play areas and various event and educational facilities. The woodland at Bryngarw includes mixed deciduous and ornamental plantings alongside native woodland species, and the formal Japanese Garden is a distinctive and peaceful feature of the grounds. The park is managed by Bridgend County Borough Council and provides freely accessible countryside close to the post-industrial valley communities of the Garw and Ogmore valleys, serving as an important green space for local communities throughout the year.
