Ewenny Priory

So tranquil a setting near farm and house. Obviously a very busy place in the Vale. Now a delight to see and touch the stones. Peacock surprised us as did pheasant in grounds.

Unfortunately when we arrived there was filming going on so we weren't allowed into it, tried to find out what they were filming but security said they didn't even know, but you can see bits of it and the gate house. The church is worth a visit as well, don't forget to go though the middle door at the back of the church as well.

It's free to enter. There's not much to look around so I wouldn't travel here just to see the priory unless I lived nearby, but if you're heading to an attraction in the surrounding area like Ogmore Beach or Dunraven Bay (Southerndown) it's worth a visit on the way or on the way back.

Although, backtracking a little on my comments, the priory is set in beautiful surroundings, so it would probably be a nice place to come and relax in the sunshine or under the shade of a tree and while away the day to the sound of pheasants and peacocks that can both be seen here (although on my first visit the peacocks decided to torment me, calling out from every direction but never revealing themselves 😂).

Fascinating! First time visit - there's so much of the original priory available to see if you go into the church.

Free to visit. We were the only visitors so we were free to explore all the Abbey and artefacts with kids without disturbing anyone else. There is not a large amount to see but this was a good choice for a drizzly morning. Nice walking route is possible too.

This is a great place to visit, shame more of the grounds was not open to see more of the old priory. The building is amazing with some well kept masonry from the old buildings. It is a small place but such a beautyful place too.

Ancient Priory ,very informative, although some of it is not accessible , It's free to enter and no car parking fee although there's limited parking space,The church is disabled friendly but no toilet for the public.

Ewenny priory garden where open today
The garden and house is faded grandeur I can only think how beautiful it must have be back in the day
The garden is only open two years a year but definitely worth the visit
