These stepping stones have quite a history. Before the suspension bridge for pedestrian use was built there was, at that spot, a series of stepping stones. When the bridge came into use these stones were lifted and placed near Ogmore Castle, where they remain today, keeping their original name: Stepsau Teilo.

At one period towards the end of the last century a competition developed to see how quickly the crossing could be made without falling into the river. Many tried to take the stones at full speed and, cheered on by onlookers there were several slips.

Fun to cross, very slippery when wet.
