How to find us

ROAD DETAILS
Pencoed is very well serviced by the M4 motorway which connects the area directly to London and to the rest of the UK. Pencoed is approximately half way between Cardiff and Swansea, close to the town of Bridgend and is only a mile or so from the motorway. To find the college by road exit the M4 Motorway at junction 35, take the A473 in a North Easterly direction from the M4 and proceed straight across the first roundabout (Sony?s to the right) and turn right, into the college at the next roundabout.

BUS DETAILS
There are bus stops within a few hundred yards of the college entrance. Bridgend has a newly built Bus Station which has a range of local and national bus services. You can find further coach travel information from National Express.

RAIL DETAILS
Pencoed train station is in the town centre (Taxis close by), about 10 minutes walk from the college. To find the college from the train station, turn left at the war memorial on to Penybont Road. Proceed to the end of road and the college entrance is off the roundabout. Bridgend has a main line railway station on the Inter City rail service between London (Paddington) and Swansea (West Wales). You can find further train travel information at the National Rail.
