The open area in the foreground lies between Newbridge Farm and the A48. Part of a faint path leading to an underpass beneath that road (situated behind the camera) can be seen running across the open ground. The ancient woodland in the image covers the steep slope of Craig-y-Parcau. Nearer the camera are trees on the opposite, east side of the River Ogmore. The woodland at Craig-y-Parcau is classed as Ancient Semi-Natural Woodland. This means that broadleaf woodland consisting mainly of native trees and shrubs is believed to have existed there for over 400 years - https://naturalresources.wales/evidence-and-data/research-and-reports/ancient-woodland-inventory/?lang=en.
