Ogmore-by-Sea (Welsh: ''Aberogwr'', meaning "Mouth of the River Ogmore") is a seaside village in St Brides Major community in the Vale of Glamorgan, Wales. Ogmore river probably takes its name from the large caves on the seashore by the river mouth, Og being Welsh for cave. It lies on the western limit of the Glamorgan Heritage Coast of south Wales. ==History== A polished flint axe-head of Seamer type was found at Ogmore Mill in 1976. Just like its counterparts in Cornwall, Ireland and Brittany, the west-facing beach and coast was notorious as a graveyard for ships during strong on-shore winds (i.e. south-westerly winds from the Atlantic). Many ships in particular were destroyed on Tusker Rock, a brutal reef slightly out to sea that is totally covered at high tide. There are urban legends of organised shipwrecking at Ogmore (and all across the Vale of Glamorgan coastline); similar to tales from Cornwall of the use of false lights so passing ships would mistake a flickering light as a lighthouse or ship at anchor and be lured to destruction, however there is no historical evidence for this.
