Fishing near Bridgend, Wales

Bridgend sits in South Wales, flanked by the Vale of Glamorgan and the southern edge of the South Wales valleys. The Ogmore River runs through the town itself, and the Glamorgan Heritage Coast is within easy reach for shore fishing. Freshwater angling ranges from river fishing on the Ogmore and Ewenny to still-water coarse venues such as Kenfig Pool — the largest natural lake in southwest Wales — and smaller commercial fisheries like Hazelcourt Ponds near Cowbridge and Wills Pond at Aberkenfig.
