About

Pen-y-fai is a residential ward situated on the eastern edge of Bridgend town, bordering the M4 motorway to the north. The area is characterised by a mix of post-war housing estates and more modern developments, with local amenities centred along the main thoroughfare of Heol-y-Gors. The community is served by several primary schools and has convenient access to the town centre for wider retail and leisure facilities.
