Disused railway signal and station platform at Ogmore ValeHeritage place · 190 yd

Explorer Tom Disused railway signal and station platform at Ogmore Vale is still pretending it’s on duty even though no trains have passed by in ages. It’s got quite a habit of standing guard over empty tracks like they’re full of passengers. Go wave at the signal light and see if it blinks back at you, just for fun.

Holy Family Roman Catholic Church, River Street, Ogmore ValeChurch · 196 yd

Ogmore Vale Workmen's Hall and InstituteCinema · 226 yd

Explorer Tom Ogmore Vale Workmen's Hall and Institute in Bridgend is a 20th-century cinema and institute where the workers used to relax. It’s got a cozy, nostalgic feel that I’m totally into.

Public Swimming Baths, Ogmore ValeSwimming Pool · 272 yd
