Explorer Tom Bridge over the Ogmore River is just hanging out there. The river probably asks it to jump in every day. Get a shot for the album.

Explorer Tom Pwll-y-Defaid is a medieval settlement with a name that sounds like a sheep dip. People lived here long ago. It’s quiet now, so enjoy the peace and take a photo of the landscape.

Explorer Tom Arched span of the bridge over the Ogmore is flexing its muscles and showing off how strong its stone bones really are. It’s probably been doing push-ups against the river all day without us noticing. Try to fit your whole body under it for a photo, if you can.

Explorer Tom The Ewenny River and Ogmore Castle in Bridgend are having a quiet chat. The river’s probably complaining about the castle being so serious. Take a photo of them together for me.

Explorer Tom Woodland by Ogmore Castle in Bridgend is hiding something big. Probably a dragon or a very large badger. Take a photo looking suspiciously at the bushes for me!
