Last updated: 03 December 2005

By Ben


  • Distance: 4.5 miles (7.5 miles incl. Kenfig Nature Reserve)
  • Starting Point: Kenfig Nature Reserve Visitor Centre SS801810
  • Map: Explorer 151, Cardiff & Bridgend
  • Parking: Kenfig Nature Reserve
  • Refreshments: Kenfig Hill

    What is the route?

    Park at Kenfig National Nature Reserve. You have a chance to explore the site before returning to your car and travelling down the B4281 to our next stop at Kenfig Hill, where there is plenty of on-street parking. Once you have explored the town, walk up Commercial Street and turn left onto Prince Road, joining the Tondu to Pyle Community route by turning right onto Little Station Road. You will find Bedford Park, Cefn Cribwr Ironworks and Cefn Junction Signal Box along this path.

    Why did your class do this walk?

    It was part of our history project. The BBC gave us some digital cameras and we snapped up the sites. We aim to get more people to walk the path between Kenfig Hill and Cefn Cribbwr. Enjoy! Hope to see you on the walk.

    What was your favourite part of the walk?

    The iron works.

    What was your least favourite part of the walk?

    The walk back.

    What did you learn?

    What the signal box and the iron works were used for.

    What do you most enjoy doing in your spare time?

    Playing the piano, violin, flute and bass guitar.

    What do you hate doing?

    Art, Welsh and thinking too much.

    What do you want to be when you get older?

    A French and Spanish teacher.
