Crown Road, Kenfig Hill
Viewed from near the Station Road junction, looking past the left turn into a short cul-de-sac, Masons Close. My route here from Commercial Street has been an exclusively royal one, along Prince Road, then Victoria Road and now Crown Road. There is no such option head, because the far end of Crown Road is at the edge of disused quarries.

The park is named after ironmaster John Bedford (1727-1791) who arrived in this area from the English Midlands in the early 1770s. Bedford bought 80 acres of land hereabouts with the plan of establishing an ironworks, (with blast furnace and forge) and the collieries, brickworks and stone quarries needed to support it.

An area of hoar frost on grass at the western edge of Bedford Park near Kenfig Hill
Viewed during a coldish period of weather, when overnight hoar frost remained on the grass here because the direct rays of the sun, at a low angle on a late November afternoon, did not reach the grass.
