Bridgend (English: / b r ɪ ˈ dʒ ɛ n d /; Welsh: Pen-y-bont ar Ogwr or just Pen-y-bont, meaning "the end of the bridge on the Ogmore") is a town in the Bridgend County Borough of Wales, 20 miles (32 km) west of Cardiff and 20 miles (32 km) east of Swansea. The town is named after the medieval bridge over the River Ogmore.
Dominated by its hilltop Castle, the original medieval settlement grew up around the pilgrims crossing point on the banks of the river Ogmore which flows down the valley of the same name, on through Bridgend and down to the dramatic Heritage Coast at Merthyr Mawr.
In the eleventh and twelfth centuries, the town became a foothold of Norman power in Wales and this was reinforced by the construction of Newcastle Castle, now situated in the town centre. During the industrial revolution, Bridgend became a railway hub between London, West Wales and the South Wales Valleys.
