About

Ogmore Vale is a former mining community situated within the steep-sided valley of the River Ogmore. The settlement follows the course of the river and the Bwlch-y-Clawdd road, with terraced housing and local amenities lining the valley floor. The surrounding hillsides are covered in dense woodland, creating a sheltered, green environment. The area is defined by its industrial past and its close-knit residential character.

The geography is dominated by the Ogmore Valley, with the river a central feature. The community is served by a primary school, several chapels, and local shops. A notable local landmark is the historic Ogmore Vale Workingmen's Hall and Institute, which remains a focal point for social activities. The valley provides direct access to surrounding forestry and upland areas, offering walking routes into the wider South Wales landscape.
