About

Ynysawdre and Aberkenfig are neighbouring communities located in the Llynfi Valley, northwest of Bridgend town. The area is defined by the River Llynfi and the surrounding valley slopes, with residential streets following the contours of the land. It functions primarily as a residential area for Bridgend, with local shopping facilities concentrated along Aberkenfig's Commercial Street. The presence of the river and older stone buildings, including former chapels, gives parts of the area a distinct historical character.

A notable local feature is the Ynysawdre swimming pool and leisure centre, a key community facility. The area is bordered by woodland and green spaces like Heol-y-Cyw Forest to the north, offering accessible walking routes. Transport links are shaped by the valley, with the A4063 main road and railway line connecting the communities to Bridgend and the wider South Wales valleys, underlining its position within this former industrial landscape.
