==Geography== [[File:Kenfig Burrows - geograph.org.uk - 161888.jpg|thumb|right|Kenfig Burrows]] [[File:Kenfig Pool, Bridgend.jpg|thumb|right|Kenfig Pool]] The area of sand dunes and the pool at Kenfig are managed by Bridgend County Borough Council as [[Kenfig Pool]] [[National Nature Reserve]], the area designated a [[Site of Special Scientific Interest]]. The reserve has a visitor and interpretation centre, and a car park. The dunes are home to a variety of rare and endangered species of plants and animals, including a high concentration of [[fen orchid]] (or ''Liparis loeselii''). The current village, built further inland, is a continuation of the mediaeval one. Landmarks include ruins of [[Kenfig Castle]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.castlewales.com/kenfig.html |title=Kenfig Castle |author=Thomas, Jeffrey L. |year=2009 |work=Castles of Wales |accessdate=5 April 2016}}</ref> The Kenfig Burrows beach is used by [[naturist]]s.<ref name="walesonline2016">{{Cite web|title=The nudist beaches where people are really cooling off this summer |last=Mears |first=Tyler |work=walesonline |date=20 July 2016 |access-date=2016-07-21 |url=http://www.walesonline.co.uk/whats-on/whats-on-news/nudist-beaches-wales-people-really-11638060 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160721123308/http://www.walesonline.co.uk/whats-on/whats-on-news/nudist-beaches-wales-people-really-11638060 |archive-date=21 July 2016 }}</ref>
