About	Newcastle Castle is built on a low hill which is on the west side of the Ogmore River. It is a relatively large but little established Norman fortification in the centre of Bridgend. William de Londres initially constructed it as an 1106 ringwork, and it was occupied until the late 16th century, but for over 300 years, the castle was ruinous. The castle is notable for the high quality of the stonework, especially that of the Norman doorway. A simple ringwork castle was the first fortification on the location; a courtyard surrounded by a timber fence, probably supported by a small stone keep at the centre a few decades later. Newcastle Castle welcomes visitors with free admission.
