Nant-y-moel or Nantymoel, meaning "stream from the bare mountain", is a village that includes the formerly separate village of Pricetown in the county borough of Bridgend, Wales, on the River Ogmore and is one of the constituent villages of the Ogmore Valley.
The village of Wyndham borders it to the south and by the Bwlch y Clawdd mountain to the north.
History of Nantymoel.
As with the rest of the Ogmore Valley, Nantymoel was mainly a farming community up until the middle of the 19th century when coal mining became widespread across South Wales. The last coal mine, the Wyndham/Western Colliery, closed in 1983, resulting in high unemployment at that time. Most residents today now travel to Bridgend or other larger towns for work.
