Coity Castle

Coity Castle, a Norman stronghold, was built in the 12th century and, despite subsequent alterations, has retained distinctive features of a Norman ringwork fortification, such as the battlements and the wall-walk. Largely rebuilt in the 14th and 15th centuries, the castle was abandoned in the 16th century and fell into disrepair. Today its remains, just over 3 km (2 mi) from Bridgend, are managed by CADW: Welsh Historic Monuments.
