Although the town centre is one of the worst in Wales, Bridgend is a good area. Coity, Coychurch, Pencoed, there is lots of new house building, and has everything. the new developments in Coity are 2 mins to the big outlet store McarthurGlen and odeon cinema. 2 mins away from M4 junction for easy access to Cardiff or Swansea. 5 mins away from my golf club in Coychurch. and 10 min drive to Ogmore by sea, and 15 mins from Porthcawl.
