Public transport: click on appropriate link in left column for services and timetable information. There is a local bus service comprised of: No. 145 from Llantwit Major via
St. Brides Major and the coast (ie also travels to
Southerndown and Ogmore-by-Sea) to Ewenny and on to Bridgend Bus Station
AND It is wise to check the timetables and the routes because this is a rural area with the result that the only stops which every bus visits are at Wick Village Shop, Farmers Arms (in St. Brides Major), Ewenny and Bridgend Bus Station. When Bridgend College is in session the route varies slightly to incorporate this stop on the morning journey from Cardiff Airport and the afternoon return from Bridgend. The service on Sundays and Bank Holidays is No. 145 via the coast to Bridgend. A mobile library visits every two weeks on Mondays, giving free access to a selection of popular fiction, non-fiction, talking books, large print and a range of children's books. For a small charge, a book can be reserved. STOPS: St. Brides Major:
