Bridgend County is a breath of fresh air. The shoreline is home to year-round surfing, blue-flag beaches and world-class golf. Inland, natural beauty is dotted with historic sites and legends. Our curious traditions include the ancient Mari Lwyd at New Year and the world’s biggest Elvis Festival. All year round, we’re up for an adventure!
