Ogmore is a hamlet to the north west of Ogmore by Sea. It sits on the banks of the River Ogmore in the Vale of Glamorgan, South Wales. Close by is the confluence of the Rivers Ogmore and Ewenny. Higher up stream the two rivers branch off in a 'V' shape leaving a piece of land in the middle between the rivers.
Legend has it that the famous Celtic chieftain King Arthur fought his last battle on this piece of land on the banks of the two rivers. The story states that he was fatally wounded and in order to keep the Kingdom together, his death was kept secret and his body laid in a cave in Coed y Mwstwr forest. ....
