Priordy Ewenni

A public footpath here passes from a road at a golf complex onto a farm field which is part of the Ewenny Priory Estate. The path lies on the Bridgend Circular Walk.

A public footpath on the Bridgend Circular Walk runs alongside much of the line of hedge seen in the foreground before passing through a kissing gate in it onto a road at a golf complex. The kissing gate is seen in SS9277 : Kissing gate on a public footpath north east of Corntown. The farmland here is part of the Ewenny Priory Estate.

Viewed from one of the spots beside the river which it’s possible to get down to from the public footpath which runs towards the priory from the A48. The riverside path seen in the image is not the public footpath, which is set back from the river here and for much of its length.

OpenStreetMap shows a public footpath running along the field edge seen here. On Ordnance Survey maps, by contrast, it is shown cutting across the middle of the field. It seems possible that whereas the latter may be the ‘official’ route, the former is the one that tends to be followed in practice. Taking the route along the field edge would certainly seem to be less likely to cause disruption when sports are being played, and so will probably occur at least some of the time. The green and white building seen is Corntown Sports Pavilion. This is used by Vale United FC which plays its home games on the field here.

Shortly after its start on the A48 a public footpath passes between a river monitoring station and a fence above the Ewenny River.

Located on what was once the main (Roman) road running roughly east to west across South Wales, passing through Newport, Cardiff, Cowbridge, Bridgend, Port Talbot, Neath and Carmarthen. The milepost is Grade II listed.

A view downstream at a point where the river passes a monitoring station – see SS9178 : Public footpath towards Ewenny Priory by Waterton. Steps and cables, which will play a part in the monitoring of the river, can be seen on the concrete slope.

Aerial photography online shows the field being used for the growing of cereals. The northern part of the field, not seen here, is shown in SS9177 : Farmland and track on the Ewenny Priory Estate. The trees closest to the camera – in the left half of the image – are seen closer up in SS9177 : An island of trees east of Ewenny Priory.
