Coity sits just to the northeast of Bridgend, positioned on a gentle rise that overlooks the Vale of Glamorgan. At its heart are the substantial ruins of Coity Castle - one of the three fortresses that formed the ‘Old Lordship’ - which still lends the village a distinct sense of age and permanence. Life here is centered around the triangle formed by the castle, the 14th-century church of St Bride’s, and the local pub, the Six Bells. While the village has grown significantly in recent years with the development of Parc Derwen, it manages to keep its own identity separate from the main sprawl of Bridgend. It’s a practical spot for getting around; you’re only a few minutes from the M4 at Junction 36 and the McArthurGlen outlet, yet once you head north out of the village, the landscape opens up quickly into the common land and hills of the South Wales valleys. It is a place where modern residential life sits right alongside medieval stone walls.
