About

Pen-y-fai, Laleston, and Merthyr Mawr form a cluster of settlements on the eastern edge of Bridgend. The area is characterised by residential streets, local schools, and community facilities, with the M4 motorway running to the north. The landscape is largely defined by the River Ogmore, which winds through the low-lying ground, creating a flat, green corridor of fields and grazing land.

To the south, the land rises dramatically into the extensive dune system of Merthyr Mawr Warren. This vast area of sand and marram grass, one of the largest in Europe, lies inland from the coast. It is bordered by the wooded slopes of Candleston Castle, with the ruins situated just above the dunes.
