Blackmill is a small village tucked into the steep-sided Ogmore Valley in Bridgend county borough, south Wales. It sits close to the River Ogmore and is surrounded by farmland and pockets of woodland, giving it a distinctly rural feel despite being within easy reach of larger towns.
Historically the village grew up around the valley’s mining and industrial past, and today it feels like a quiet, close-knit community with local amenities and active community groups; many residents commute to nearby centres such as Bridgend or Cardiff. The attractive landscape makes the area popular with walkers and cyclists, and the village serves as a good base for exploring the wider South Wales valleys.
