How far is Newport from Bridgend please? Or even better, how far is Newport from Brynmenyn - although most people havent heard of that!

My OH (who hasn't lived there for many years!) says it is about 20 miles, but I would get other opinions before taking that as gospel! Hope it helps. Frances

Hi The AA route planner says its 31.3 miles and 36 minutes travelling time. You can take a look on theaa*com (replace asterix with dot) Hope this helps Tracy

I live in between the two, but closer to Bridgend, and I would have guessed at 32 miles so 31.3 is pretty accurate I'd say.

Thanks, am trying to piece together the life of my great gran, who isnt on BMD or the census despite being born in 1890!! Not only that, but neither of her 2 marriages seem to be listed! Am thinking she may have used an alias, for some bizarre reason. Only have her on my grans birth cert. Claire, I dont suppose the names Gentina Roberts/Price/Edwards mean anything to you? She was born a Roberts, married Percy Price in Bridgend, then married Alan Edwards in Newport, where she died in 1966. Im off to bed, as Im so tired and I KNOW baby will be up at 5am! Night all xxx
