About Bridgend
A market town on the River Ogmore between Cardiff and Swansea, and the gateway to the Glamorgan Heritage Coast.
Like everywhere else in Wales, Bridgend keeps Greenwich Mean Time from late October to late March and British Summer Time for the rest of the year. There is no local time variation anywhere in the country, but daylight is a different matter.
Across the year the swing here is considerable: from 7h 50m of daylight around the winter solstice to 16h 38m at midsummer, a difference of more than 8 hours.
