	Ogmore-by-Sea - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ogmore-by-Sea (Welsh: Aberogwr - Aber Mouth + Ogwr River Ogmore) is a seaside village on the western limit of the Glamorgan Heritage Coastline of South Wales.
		The River Ogmore estuary is flanked by Ogmore beach on one side and the dunes of Merthyr Mawr on the other.
		Also prevalent at Ogmore (and all across the Vale of Glamorgan coastline) was organised shipwrecking; similar to tales in Cornwall where lanterns would be tied to a bull/cow at night resting onto top of a cliff; passing ships would mistake a flickering light as a lighthouse and be lured to destruction.

		As such this means that they are classed as riparian and it is a general principle of English law that the owner of land bordering on a watercourse also owns the bed of that watercourse up to an imaginary line drawn down the middle.
		Regardless of fishing rights on the river, which it is currently believed are owned by Ogmore Angling Association Ltd, riparian owners reserve the right to grant or prevent access to land adjacent the river for the purpose of fishing.
		There is no general right of access to river banks and towpaths - they all belong to somebody and that landowner may or may not choose to allow access.The common law concerning trespass relates to water in the same way as it does to land.

		The WCA maintains a database of some 260 rivers and 240 lakes and stillwaters (not all of which are used for canoeing), of which the information in the WCA Canoe Access booklet is a summary.
		Occasionally the bed of the river may be transferred by the Crown to private ownership, and in such cases the right of navigation may (but not necessarily) have been extinguished.
		On all tidal rivers the Ordnance Survey records a 'tidal limit' which may be taken as a good indicator of the actual limit of influence.

	Local History
		In old Welsh, the word for "SALMON" is "EOG" and a river estuary often was referred to by the word "MOR" as in the French "MER" (SEA) or the English "MERE" as in Windermere etc. This applied to other stretches of water.
		William de Londres built Ogmore Castle as early as 1116 on the south bank of the Ewenny, a short distance above the confluence of this river and the Ogmore.
		Her lover lived across the river at Merthyr Mawr, and their tryst was impeded by tides and floods.

		The River Llynfi flows alongside Tondu on its way to its confluence with the River Ogmore.
		The river also takes away the sewage from Maesteg, originally as crude sewage and then later as treated sewage in a treatment plant that was severely overloaded for much of its life.
		As a result, the people of Tondu became inured to a river in their presence which was visibly very polluted and even changed colour as different types of paper were manufactured at the paper mill, and which also smelled strangely: a mixture of perfumes from the cosmetics factory and sewage from Maesteg.
