About

Coity Higher ward lies north of Bridgend town, encompassing a mix of residential and rural landscapes. The area includes the village of Coity itself, centered around its historic Norman castle and the adjacent St. Mary's Church. Housing developments spread across parts of the ward, alongside significant tracts of farmland and green space that characterise its outer edges. The community is served by local schools and shops, with the A4061 providing a key transport route through the area.

The geography is defined by the River Ogmore, which flows along the ward's western boundary. This area forms part of the broader Coity Wallia region, a name referencing its historical Welsh governance. Bridgend Retail Park and the town's industrial estate are located just beyond the southern border, influencing local employment patterns. The preserved ruins of Coity Castle, a substantial medieval fortification with a distinctive three-story tower, remain a focal point within the village setting.
