Quick links: navigating our site, your contributions, acknowledgements, disclaimer, copyright

St. Brides Major village web site was set up in late 2001.  Soon after, details were added for Dunraven, Southerndown, Ogmore Village and Ogmore-by-Sea, followed a short while later by information on Castle-upon-Alun, Heol-y-Mynydd, Norton and Pont-yr-Brown.  The hamlets and villages are intrinsically bound together; therefore, news, information, history and photographs have been incorporated into one main Community Web Site under the title of: St. Brides Major, Ogmore-by-Sea and Southerndown. 

This is a privately owned, non-profit making community service provided free of charge for the benefit of the villagers and all those who have an interest in our community and surrounding area.
