The valley floor is dotted with sparkling streams, waterfalls, and picturesque villages, offering breathtaking scenery and a tranquil atmosphere.

The Keeper of the Valley. The Keeper of the Valley is an oak sculpture and is one part of the Nature Keepers project that has been led by Bridgend County Borough Council, working together with local community groups. They add interest to our beauty spots, and with the accompanying poetry, they capture the imagination of younger visitors by interweaving mythology into the sites. Their aim is to spark an emotional connection to our green spaces, and so encourage people to visit as well as care more for them. The Nature Keepers were carved out of Welsh oak by local sculptor Dai Edwards. The sculpture is in Maesteg Welfare Park which is approximately nine point four hectares of formal parkland. Owned by Bridgend County Borough Council, it includes rugby pitches, bowling greens, tennis courts, formal bedding and tree lined paths. A local festival takes place each summer in the park. The park's newer features include wildlife ponds, runoff channels, paths and a footbridge. These works have been made with the Friends of Maesteg Welfare Park. Easy to get to. Easy to park. Enjoyable experience
