Merthyr Mawr Warren, a coastal sand dune system that ranks as the second tallest in Europe and served as a filming location for Lawrence of Arabia, sits beside this pocket-sized Welsh hamlet in Bridgend. Two medieval castles — Ogmore and Candleston — are within walking distance, and the village church holds two Cadw-registered stone crosses. Ewenny Priory lies in the neighbouring village.
