Cornelly is a small parish in the county borough of Bridgend in south-west Wales, comprising the neighbouring villages of North Cornelly and South Cornelly. It sits near the coast and close to the larger settlements of Pyle and Porthcawl, with good road and rail links to the surrounding area, so it often functions as a quiet residential and commuter locality while keeping semi-rural character.
Historically the parish reflects the broader story of rural life and the later coal-era development across South Wales; South Cornelly still has a small parish church dedicated to St Cornelius and a sense of long-established community. Today the area mixes long-standing families with newcomers, and local social life centres on village halls, pubs and nearby coastal amenities, giving a calm, connected feel between seaside and the old industrial hinterland.
