Kenfig lies on the Glamorgan coast, just a short distance from Porthcawl. Part of a huge dune system, which once stretched along the coast from the River Ogmore to the Gower peninsula, Kenfig and nearby Merthyr Mawr NNR are the largest remaining areas. Kenfig Pool, the largest freshwater lake in south Wales, lies at the heart of the reserve and is particularly valuable as a stopping off point for migrating birds.
It is part of the Kenfig Pool and Dunes SSSI and Kenfig SAC.
Visiting
Formerly the site of a thriving town and castle, the dunes at Kenfig extended during the thirteenth to the sixteenth centuries, finally engulfing the town and nearby farmland during a series of violent storms.
The only surviving evidence of the ancient borough is the castle keep which rises out of the dunes at the north east corner of the reserve.
Apart from the boardwalk to the bird hides, access to the dunes is along natural sandy paths which are undulating and soft.
How to get there
Kenfig National Nature Reserve can be reached from Junction 37 of the M4 Motorway and is signposted from North Cornelly, Pyle and Porthcawl.
There is ample free car parking.
Public Transport
Local buses stop outside the reserve.
For more information contact Traveline Cymru on 0871 2002233
Facilities
There is an information centre with an exhibition and a shop selling leaflets and booklets about the reserve and other wildlife in Wales.
A boardwalk leads from the visitor centre to hides overlooking Kenfig Pool.
Wildlife:-
The dune slacks and grassland contain a number of orchid species including:
Bee orchid
Southern marsh orchid
Pyramidal orchid
Fragrant orchid
Marsh helleborine
Twayblade
Fen orchid (now confined to just a few sites in Wales)
Spring and summer are the best times to see these rare species.
In addition to the dunes, there are also areas of woodland, saltmarsh, estuary and river habitats.
Kenfig pool is also an important area locally for wintering birds.
The Blue Pool constantly varies in colour as very fine clay in suspension in the water diffracts light in varying ways. This produces a spectrum of colour - from green, bright blue to turquoise. The pool is set in a deep clay bowl and is surrounded by 25 acres of heath, woodland and gorse, interlaced with sandy paths. The estate was declared a Site of Special Scientific Interest in 1985.

She jumped off the diving board, repeatedly and fearlessly, into 12 feet (3.6 meters) deep water and then swam to the edge. The boy did it too, with just a little help. I'm busting with pride.
"But she went on all the same, shedding gallons of tears, until there was a large pool all round her, about four inches deep and reaching half down the hall." -- Lewis Carol
Rough week. Didn't I say things have to get worse before they get better? I'm deep in it now.
Using this for Picture Inspiration's Motif prompt this week (week 3). I don't think it fits motif perfectly, but it does have repeating lines and leaves and ripples, and it's what I've got.
Opalescent Pool has long been a favorite for photographers visiting Yellowstone. Its color is amazing and changes with the weather and light.
