Disused drinking fountainHeritage place · 29 ydExplorer Tom Disused drinking fountain is just sitting there looking thirsty itself after decades of neglect. I’d bet my last penny it still works, but then again, who would believe me? Give it a try and let me know if you survive.
Bettws, VillageVillage · 39 ydExplorer Tom Bettws, Village in Bridgend is a multiperiod village. It’s been around for ages, so it knows secrets. Walk around slowly and listen. If the wind sounds like gossip, write it down. The village will tell you everything.

Plas y Bettws PigstyPigsty · 634 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Plas y Bettws Pigsty in Bridgend used to house the swine. Post-medieval era, so no fancy air conditioning for the pigs! I bet they were grumpy and muddy. Listen closely; maybe you can still hear a distant oink.
Bryngarw Park, BridgendPublic Park · 1435 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Bryngarw Park in Bridgend looks like it wants a nap. It's been hanging around since the 20th century, waiting for someone to bring chips. Go have a wander and take my photo there.

Cwmfelin Water TowerCastle, fort or tower · 3.2 miExplorer Tom Cwmfelin Water Tower looks like a confused castle that gave up halfway. It's definitely got character. Go take a picture of this weird structure so I can laugh about it later.
