the Taff Ely wind farm has twenty massive turbines and covers a large area over two local farms Tynewydd and Maendy. It is one of the major landmarks in South Wales that can be seen for miles (when you come out of B&Q in Bridgend look up and you’ll see the turbines). A lot of people complained at the planning stages about these turbines being an eyesore but I feel the benefits to the environment far out weighs what they look like

the Ridgeway walk runs through the middle of the wind farm, at one point there’s a viewing platform with an information board (above) explaining all the details and benefits of the farm and its turbines. 

there’s also a drawing of the view in front of you that names some of the local landmarks.  if your on the walk this is well worth a look.
