A picturesque park for all seasons

Bryngarw Country Park is made up of 113 acres of parkland which boasts Bridgend County Borough Council’s largest park landscape. The park features a number of annual events and services including themed guided nature walks, environmental family fun days and an exciting conservation volunteer programme.

Whether you are a family in search of a great day out or a walker who wants to escape to the country, you’ll find everything from native woodlands to formal gardens, exotic trees to secluded glades, all set around the beautiful River Garw.

Facilities include an adventure playground, several barbeque sites and picnic areas, a car park, public toilets, a visitor centre and refreshments available at the café and Bryngarw House.

Important information: Bryngarw House & Country Park is currently undergoing some major improvements as part of the One Historic Garden project. These improvements include the refurbishment and extension of the visitor centre and park café and the creation of a new exhibition space.

There will be some disruption to park access whilst the work is being completed. However, the café will continue to operate in alternative accommodation. We will make every effort to keep this disruption to a minimum so visitors remain safe and can continue to enjoy the park whilst work continues. We look forward to welcoming visitors to the enhanced facilities later in the year.

Volunteer programme

volunteers cutting

The volunteer programme has been going for over five years and has gone from strength to strength, with members of the local community donating their time and efforts to support preserving the park’s natural environment.

Recent projects undertaken by the volunteers include the management of the woodland garden, restoration of the natural habitat in the rhos pasture and the development of an educational nature garden. The volunteers meet one Saturday a month and the work can be very rewarding and is a great way to learn new skills, keep fit and socialise, while helping the environment at the same time.

So, if you have a passion for conservation and the great outdoors and would like to learn more about becoming a volunteer, call the rangers office and speak to Dan or Keith on 01656 725155 or email: bryngarwpark@bridgend.gov.uk.

Once you become a volunteer you can keep up to date with all the latest information via our bi-annual volunteer newsletter. For more information on the work carried out by the volunteers click on the 2011 events programme.
