Pontycymer
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pontycymer is a small ex mining village in the Garw Valley, Bridgend (county borough), south Wales.
As with many places with welsh names, the name of the village can often be a description of its situation or function.In this context "pont" is Welsh for "bridge", while "cymer" means "confluence" or a meeting of watercourses. Indeed at the beginning of the village and denoting its boundary with Pantygog the River Garw is joined by the Nant Forch Wen. At the other side of the village, towards its boundary with Blaengarw, the River Garw is also joined by the Nant Gelli Wern (marsh grove stream) at Ffaldau - the village square.
