Coity Higher is a parish and community on the northern edge of Bridgend in south Wales, sitting close to the M4 corridor between Cardiff and Swansea. The area is a mix of suburban neighbourhoods, small industrial and retail estates and pockets of farmland and commons, so many residents commute to nearby towns while local businesses supply everyday employment.
Its history is anchored by Coity Castle, a Norman stronghold that still shapes local identity, and the parish has an active community life with schools, sports clubs and a community council. Socially the area blends long‑standing village roots with more recent housing growth linked to the expansion of Bridgend, giving it a varied cultural and economic character.
