Ewenny Priory

A place of quiet contemplation that in times past was an important part of life in the area. although the priory is a ruin, the associated church contains information of historical interest. free to visit but no onsite amenities although these are available close by.

Interesting place to visit, if you are in the bridgend area, car parking and entry is free. ewenny priory dates back to the 12th century and there are various remains to look at including the walls and gatehouse. the church is architecturally intesting and is still in use as the parish church. we also enjoyed the grounds and deer walk. unusually for a cadw property signage isn't great and it's hard to work out which areas are private.

So lovely to visit and find the house and grounds open too. i have never been in the grounds or the priory before. well worth a visit when they next have an open day. you don't need tickets and it's free entry.

Such an interesting place, pity so much of it has disappeared or is in private ownership, ghe church is well worth a visit and you can access the monastic areas behind the altar. it is well worth buying the little guidebook available there

Amazing venue. our daughter's wedding celebration was held here. really beautiful and scenic location (assuming good weather). loads of room for marquees, good parking. we couldn't have wished for a better location.
