OGMORE BY SEA
Beach at Ogmore by Sea - Photo: Bridgend
County Borough Council
This splendid
village boasts stunning coastal views, caves,
rock pools and a series of stepping stones.
Ogmore Castle was built in about 1162 to
protect the mouth of the River Ewenny and
quickly became one of the most significant
strongholds in the region. The Normans
considered the area so dangerous that even
Ewenny Priory was built as a fortress. A local
legend claims King Arthur fought his last
battle nearby and after being fatally wounded
was laid to rest in a cave in Coed y Mwstwr
forest.
