Another river, the River Ewenny, passes through its southern confines. Outdoor lovers should definitely visit Merthyr Mawr Sand Dunes and Bryngarw Country Park. Those interested in culture, on the other hand, will be thrilled to visit the nearby Caerphilly Castle and The Royal Mint Experience, both of which are less than an hour away. There’s so much to see and do in and around Bridgend that you need to stay here for a few days. If this town interests you, check out the top Airbnb vacation rentals in Bridgend, UK.
