Coychurch Higher is a largely rural community in the northern part of Bridgend County Borough in Wales. It occupies rolling farmland and small hamlets on the edge of the M4 corridor, with views towards wooded valleys and easy road access to the coast and the Ogmore River.
Historically the area has agricultural roots with 19th- and 20th-century connections to the South Wales coalfield and local quarrying, so the landscape mixes farmsteads, hedged lanes and traces of former industry; community halls and local clubs help sustain a close-knit social life. Proximity to Bridgend town means many residents commute for work while enjoying a quieter, semi-rural lifestyle and straightforward links to regional shops and services.
