North Cornelly is a small village in the Bridgend area that feels quietly residential and semi-rural, sitting close to the M4 and within easy reach of the coast at Porthcawl. It has grown as a commuter settlement in recent decades but still retains village amenities and a pleasant, tucked‑away character that makes it popular with families who work in nearby towns and cities.
Kenfig Hill sits a few miles inland and bears the imprint of South Wales’ industrial past as a former coal‑mining community that has since shifted towards light industry and commuter living. It’s also notable for its proximity to the Kenfig National Nature Reserve and the ruins of Kenfig Castle, where windswept dunes and a rare sand‑dune ecosystem support unusual wildlife such as sand lizards and specialised plants, giving the area an intriguing mix of industrial heritage and striking natural landscape.
