History
The hospital, which was designed by William Martin and John Henry Chamberlain in the Gothic Revival style using a linear corridor layout, opened as the Glamorgan County Lunatic Asylum in November 1864.{{cite web|url=https://www.countyasylums.co.uk/glanrhyd-hospital-bridgend/|title=Glanrhyd Hospital|publisher=County Asylums|accessdate=26 February 2019}} It became the Glamorgan County Mental Hospital in 1922 and it joined the National Health Service as Glanrhyd Hospital in 1948.{{Coflein|num=307115 |desc=Glanrhyd Hospital; Morgannwg Hospital |access-date=29 September 2021}} A new low-secure unit, known as Taith Newydd ("New Journey"), was built on the site in 2014. In 2022 Cadw designated the hospital grounds at Grade II on its Cadw/ICOMOS Register of Parks and Gardens of Special Historic Interest in Wales. Its listing record notes the gardens' historic importance as a rare, and largely intact, example of the "designed gardens and grounds of a mid-nineteenth century asylum landscape."{{NHAW|uid=202|num=PGW(Gm)10(BRI)|desc=Glanrhyd Hospital|class=HPG|access-date=7 February 2023}}
