EspañolMERTHYR MAWR
'Merthyr Mawr' is a village about 2½ miles from the centre of Bridgend in South Wales.
It contains several cottages and a church, the cottages retaining an authentic/traditional feel with thatched roofs and well maintained gardens. Nearby are the Merthyr Mawr sand dunes, where scenes from ''Lawrence of Arabia'' were filmed. The biggest sand dune in Europe can also be found there, known locally as "the big dipper".
Also two castles, Ogmore Castle and Candleston Castle are within good walking distance. A famous sheep dipping bridge is on the outskirts of the village. The former POW Camp Island Farm is less than a mile away and another village, Ewenny is within 3-4 miles.
