The Opencast Spillway — photo spot in G8RJ+4J, Bridgend CF33 6RA, UK
The Opencast Spillway
Concrete opencast spillway and surrounding reclaimed landscape offer dramatic leading lines, textured concrete, flowing water reflections and moody skies — a strong mix of industrial and waterscape subjects. Best at golden hour or after rain for reflections; low crowds make tripod work easy. Accessible via local lanes with limited roadside parking; wear sturdy shoes for slippery banks. No entry fees; respect private boundaries and livestock on nearby fields.
