About

Blackmill ward is situated in the Ogmore Valley, northwest of Bridgend town. The area is defined by the River Ogmore and the surrounding steep-sided hills, which historically shaped its development around coal mining. Residential streets are arranged along the valley floor and lower slopes, with terraced housing being common. The landscape remains largely rural beyond the village core, with farmland and woodland covering the upper hillsides.

The ward's industrial past is evident in local landmarks like the former colliery sites, though nature has reclaimed many areas. Community facilities are centred on the main road through the village. A specific local feature is the presence of the Ogwr Fach river, a tributary that joins the Ogmore here, influencing the settlement's layout. The geography continues to dictate land use, with limited space for expansion.
