Council notice on Hut 9, Island Farm
The warning simply says that Bridgend Council accept no responsibility for any injury to trespassers. It doesn't actually tell you to keep out - although the tall, substantial fence is a big hint.
All the windows and doors have had wooden covers fixed over them. However, it is plain to see that the fence has been breached and some covers removed by trespassers.
It couldn't keep the Germans in, why would it be able to keep the curious out ?

Hut 9 Island Farm Prisoner of War camp, Bridgend
A view of the whole hut from the corner of the tall surrounding fence. This is the hut that the German soldiers escaped from and is the only part of the former camp that has not been demolished.
Looks like someone pops in every now and then to mow the lawn, except at the far end where the trees are starting to encroach.

Public footpath towards Newbridge Fields
A public footpath from New Inn Bridge, Merthyr Mawr heads north-eastwards towards Newbridge Fields and the centre of Bridgend. Here, as over its entire course, the path runs close to the River Ogmore. It may be noted, however, that due to the presence of trees and other vegetation views of the river are limited from much of the path to the north of the A 48.
The sign seen in the image points back along a stretch of path towards Merthyr Mawr on which the walker passes through a small subway beneath the A 48, so avoiding a crossing of that busy road on foot, as sticking to the public footpath requires. This stretch of path rejoins the public footpath on the other (south) side of the A 48.
