Pontycymer is a former mining village in Wales. It is situated in the Garw Valley, in Bridgend County Borough . The name, sometimes spelled "Pontycymmer", is Welsh: pont signifies "bridge", while cymer signifies "confluence" of watercourses.
Original signs for the village use the incorrect spelling of Pontycymmer. Recent signage and postoffice records have now been changed to the correct spelling. At one side of the village, marking its boundary with Pantygog, the River Garw is joined by the Nant Forch Wen. At the other side, towards its boundary with Blaengarw, the River Garw is joined by the Nant Gelli Wern (marsh grove stream) at Ffaldau, the village square.
Among those born in the village are the artist and journalist Molly Parkin (Molly Thomas), snooker player Ryan Day, Wales rugby captain John Lloyd, and news reader Huw Edwards.
Numerous locations in Pontycymer feature as the fictional village of Ogw in the film Very Annie Mary. The oldest street in the village is Railway Terrace, originally named "Milk Row".

Sad end to a great pub in the Garw Valley.
This film was created by a group of Year 5 and 6 pupils at Ffaldau Primary School to promote their local area of Pontycymer. Pontycymer is a small village in the Garw Valley and is situated in the Bridgend county. The children were keen to advertise the positive aspects of Pontycymer. The opening and closing credits quote the well-known Welsh hymn, 'Calon Lan', which was written in the valley. The opening words translate roughly as 'a pure heart is full of goodness' which mirrors the children's views about the place where they live - Pontycymer being the heart of the Garw Valley. Please share our film!
