Within the bailey of the castle is a courthouse building which was in use until the 17th century.
The castle is officially open from 10 am to 4pm and is free to get in, it is unmanned so you can actually access the grounds at anytime.
There is a small carpark by the river but they do lock the gate in the evening, also check the tide times as this car park does flood during high tides.

Free to visit and a very pleasant place to spend a few hours, you can cross the ford and there is a horse riding place near by.
Ogmore Castle guards a major fording place into southern Wales, and sits on flat land rather than atop a ridge-crest where nature would have provided extra defense. From Ogmore and its sisters at Coity and Newcastle at Bridgend, Welsh access to this Norman lordship was effectively barred. The Normans made their claim to this area as early as 1116, when William de Londres established the first castle (a ringwork or motte) at the site. The surviving earthworks, encompassing an inner ward with a ditch that filled during high tide, may date to this original stronghold.
