If you like visiting castles then Ignore is a worthwhile destination. Free entry and parking are a bonus. It is a maintained ruin, so once you have walked around the walls and looked in the old chapel there isn't a lot more to do, other than cross the on the and take a few photos. Ogmore is a historical site with a lot of charm and character. The are picturesque, and the setting along the adds to its allure. It's a great spot for a leisurely or a picnic, and the views are quite scenic. Be prepared for uneven ground and a bit of a hike to fully explore the area. What a place. It's great fun walking on the over the whilst viewing the ruins. Lovely quiet place free to look round a ruin but with enough left to get a feel for the place afew parking spots by the side of the with to cross the if your sure footed, may get busy in high season as there is a riding stables neaby Parking is at a premium, not many spaces. Great castel, lots of interesting things to see. When we arrived, a grandad and four boys were playing hide-and-go-seek, lots of nooks and crannies! Great scenery and easyish access. Spent about 30 minutes looking around and watching the other people explore. Spot to spend time and also Amazing Rural Pubs around Been today to the with the family and our dogs. The road running down to the is full of very big / deep pot holes. Parking is by the just past the castle, but it does look like you are about to drive into the river. The themselves are nice to around and take about 30 mins to around. Went to the where you can across the to get to the on the orherside. Don’t cross as there was no way we would have made it with the dogs without falling in. Personally wouldn’t bother with the state of the road to get to the castle. I visited the of this 12th century on a planned visit to take some pictures and I enjoyed the landscape the was in as well as the ruins. As for the remains of the they are fairly modest but some interesting features remain and it's free to enter. There isn't much in the area, so bring snacks. I think you can get in before 10.00am, I arrived at 9.30 and the gate was open. The road down to the is single track and badly potholed. Park just in front of the on the riverside which can be prone to flooding. The parking and are free. The are quite small but nice to around and good views across the river. I couldn't across the on the as the water was a little too high but if you there are nice walks and horses on the other side. Well worth a visit as it's close to the main road. A lovely ruine next to a with across . Still most of the original footprint of the , so you can tell the layout of the different parts . Well worth going to see but caution in the car Park next to the , very uneven. What a place! Very quiet and peaceful too. You feel like the time had stopped there. We did a picnic as looking at the sunset, which was such a treasure time. It may be busy for weekends. Lovely bit of history in a lovely setting. Out the way worth a little visit. An outstanding medieval is set in scenic surroundings. Fantastic find, lovely old castle, horses grazing nearby, and across the river. A truly magical place ✨️ 🏰 Stuning view on of Ogmore Castle, on the valley, great food near the local pub and small kiosk with Welsh twist pastry! This is a location but parking is very limited and quite challenging. There are lots of lovely walks from the and the cast of itself is stunning. It was quite busy on a cold spring day so I would think that in the summer it would be very crowded indeed. Little hidden gem. Was driving home and cane across this place. Perfect little place to stop for a stretch and have a look around. Owned by a wealthy lord. can see a good amount left of the building. I would suggest to drive cautiously as the roads become severely bumpy 🤣 Small car park but a lovely place to stop. Please take your litter with you. Good nature vibes enjoy the place and peacefulness Great place to visit, parked next to for free. Had a around the and then over the and followed the path to the right that leads you to a bridge over the river. Please be careful on the as a lady slipped and fell in the and I helped her husband to get her out. You can to the left but it only goes as far as the two rivers meet a few hundred yards down.
