Notes on DUNRAVEN CASTLE, Southerndown, Bridgend 2020
A managed mansion estate, the clifftop mansion/castle was demolished, like so many in the early sixties (1963) but there’s plenty here to see; a well maintained and very large walled garden, the photograph here shows a folly built within the walled garden. The house platform remains too, with some surprisingly high walls and bricked up windows. The arch, as seen here, was also saved from demolition. There is also a fantastic gatehouse in a poor state but not photographed on this occasion.
The castle once overlooked Dunraven Bay which is a popular beach with sand a glorious rock formation within the high cliff walls.
