    Excellent video. This closes nicely a story I would get from my Grampa as a kid. He lived in Ogmore by sea and loved telling me all the stories of the local area and, I in turn have told my kids, who especially loved the story of Cap Goch. Thank you.

    Great video, diolch!
    We're heading that way to do some filming soon and you've made us want to walk the Glamorgan Ridgeway 😉

    We only went walking there the other day and sat by the ruins of the castle and had a picnic there. My husband was born in Bridgend and new all the stories from his parents again born in Bridgend ❤😊

    I believe that there was a primary school in Aberdare called Capcoch.

    Quite a horrific history but very intriguing. Shame there’s nothing left of the inn as I’d have liked to have seen it.
    Great video 👍

      I know. Beautiful place even without the inn though

    A very interesting and informative video. Was Cap Coch one of the earliest British serial killers? Almost certainly.

    Very good! I’d just like to say I grew up with direct descendent of red cap who still lives in Porthcawl. They still have his gun chest in the house. I bet that could tell a few tales!

    The goblin stone is in a private chapel very near to the site of the old inn.

      It is. I was once lucky enough to be shown round that old chapel when I was little. It’s part of the Merthyr Mawr estate.

      @@GrahamLoveluck it's a beautiful spot isn't it. I have to admit that our visits, though very respectful, were much more clandestine.

    Am I right in thinking the exact location is not known?

    • @GrahamLoveluck
      @GrahamLoveluck  2 роки тому +2

      It is believed to be somewhere under the entrance to Merthry Mawr house as the drive was extended during the tenure of the Nichols family. But exactly where, you are tight to say, is unknown
