About

Central Bridgend is the primary commercial and administrative core of the town. The area is defined by its main shopping streets, Queen Street and Nolton Street, which contain a mix of national retail chains and independent businesses. The Rhiw Car Park and the adjacent bus station form a major transport and parking hub for the wider county borough. Civic functions are centred here, with the Bridgend County Borough Council offices and law courts located just off the main thoroughfares.

A dominant feature is the Bridgend Shopping Centre, a large indoor complex that anchors the retail area. The River Ogmore flows past the eastern edge of the centre, with a pedestrianised walkway running alongside it. Adjacent to the river is Bridgend Recreation Centre, providing local sports facilities. The area's layout reflects its development as a historic market town, with older buildings and narrow lanes situated behind the main modern shopping frontages.
