About

Oldcastle is a residential ward located directly north of Bridgend town centre, characterised by its mix of housing estates and proximity to key transport routes. The area is primarily made up of post-war and more modern suburban homes, with local shopping facilities centred along the main thoroughfares. It functions as a commuter base for the wider town, offering straightforward access to the M4 motorway and the mainline railway station.

A notable local feature is the substantial Coed-y-Mwstwr woodland, which borders the ward to the north and provides extensive public footpaths. The area is also home to the Heronsbridge School, a specialist educational facility. Oldcastle's landscape gently rises from the River Ogmore valley, with some streets offering views across the town towards the surrounding hills of Bridgend county.
