About

Nant-y-moel is a village and electoral ward located in the Ogmore Valley within Bridgend County Borough. The area is characterised by its steep hillsides and terraced housing, a legacy of its history as a former coal mining community. The landscape is dominated by the surrounding uplands of the South Wales Valleys.

A prominent local feature is the large, grassed-over spoil tip known locally as the "Blue Tip," which has been reclaimed by nature. The village sits below the Bwlch-y-Clawdd mountain pass. Community life centres around local amenities, sports clubs, and the Ogmore River, which runs through the valley.
