The Ewenny River (Welsh: Afon Ewenni) is a river in South Wales. For most of its 10 miles (16 km) length, it forms the border between the Vale of Glamorgan and Bridgend. It is a major tributary of the River Ogmore, which it joins near its estuary.
Course
The river rises to the north east of
Afon Alun
, which flows west for a few miles, and converges with the Ewenny north of Ogmore.
Fishing
The river has very good grayling, and also sewin.[2]
Mouth
The river joins the Ogmore near Ogmore Castle, which is south of the river. At the confluence, a series of stepping stones cross the river. However, these only cross the Ewenny river, and not the Ogmore. [citation needed]
