- Kenfig abstract "Kenfig (Welsh: Cynffig) is a village and former borough in Bridgend, Wales.The borough contributed with other Glamorgan towns to sending a member of parliament to Westminster until the Reform Act of 1832. The municipal ceremonial mace is in the National Museum of Wales but a pewter copy is on view in a public house.The area was originally settled in the Bronze Age, while the later Kenfig Castle and mediaeval town are now covered by the Kenfig Burrows sand dunes. This was the subject of an episode of archaeological television programme Time Team screened on 18 March 2012. The current village is a continuation of the mediaeval one, built further inland. Other attractions include the ruins of Kenfig Castle and a natural pool popular with birdwatchers. This is one of the few places in Britain where the bittern can be seen during the winter.The area of sand dunes and the pool are managed by Bridgend County Borough Council as Kenfig Pool National Nature Reserve, and the area is designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest. There is a visitor and interpretation centre next to a car park. The dunes are home to a wide variety of rare and endangered species of plants and animals, including an exceptionally high concentration of fen orchid (or Liparis loeselii). It makes up part of the largest active sand dune system in Europe.Kenfig is an area that is renowned in local legend and folklore, not to mention a novel, The Maid of Sker, by R. D. Blackmore, inspired by a combination of local legend and Sker House itself. The Bronze Age settlement was originally situated around Kenfig Castle, but the encroaching sand became too much for the inhabitants in around the 13th century CE, at which time they relocated the village further inland, thereby forming the current village of Kenfig and Marlas. The church was moved from the original village stone by stone and currently stands in the village of Pyle, where the relocation is evident in the unusual fact that the smaller stones are at the bottom of the church, while the larger ones are at the top. All that remains now of Kenfig Castle is covered by the sand dunes, except for the top of its 50-foot keep, which was uncovered in the early 20th century.".
