Glad you enjoyed. If you do walk it, as I mentioned in the video, they've closed the path across the rail line but there's a path from Waun Bant Road which comes from Kenfig Hill.

Spooky music as well 🤣👍

Sounds like you should have taken Mel with you for company. Worked on construction of the motorway in 1980 and remember looking down on the lime works in the valley. As you say it just looks as if everyone left one Friday afternoon and never returned on Monday.

Not many places around this area which are like it. Just deserted with lots of machinery still there.

Just a note to say that I visited today on 4/3/22 and they were demolishing the site 😢 I only managed a few shots (in harsh sun) of what is left before I was asked to leave as its now a privately owned site :( 😞 not going to lie....I was a little freaked out when I could hear heavy machinery going...but was more saddened to find out why

Thanks for the update. Do you know why they were demolishing the site or what they intend to do with the place?

Nice video thanks. I vaguely remember the sand and gravel works on Newton Beach.

I don't remember those but there's still a lot of remains and piles of rubble over there.

Cool place. Would love to explore it!

Sometimes the atmosphere is more interesting than what you are looking at.

It is, I was surprised how much was just left there. Like I mentioned in the video, most places are cleared and redeveloped quite quickly.
