The character of Bridgend
The town centre sits just north of the M4, with Nolton Street and the Rhiw pedestrianised through the shopping core. Waterton Industrial Estate and the retail park around McArthurGlen sit close to junction thirty-six and are straightforward for a car to reach directly. Cars generally wait in the surrounding car parks rather than on the high street itself, which keeps loading bays clear.
- Cars wait in the car parks around Nolton Street rather than the pedestrianised core.
- McArthurGlen pickups use the main car park rather than the retail loading bays.
- Junction thirty-six is the practical point to plan around for evening travel.
- We route via the A48 when the M4 itself is running slow.
