Bridgend (Welsh: Pen-y-bont ar Ogwr) is a town in the County Borough of Bridgend in South Wales. It is roughly midway between Cardiff and Swansea. The river crossed by the original bridge which gave the town its name is the River Ogmore but the River Ewenny also passes through the south of the town. Historically a part of Glamorgan, Bridgend has greatly expanded in size since the early 1980s and now has a population of around 40,000.
