Mouth
The river joins the Ogmore near Ogmore Castle, which is south of the river. At the confluence, a series of stepping stones cross the river. However, these only cross the Ewenny river, and not the Ogmore. There is no sufficient way to cross the rivers from the northern bank; a bridge to the Penybont works is inaccessible, and the next bridge is many miles upstream. Dangerous currents make the river difficult to wade over. The lower portions of the Ewenny and Ogmore are tidal; the stepping stones are submerged at most tides. The tides and rivers are extremely fast flowing and deep in places; undercurrents are documented, as is a rip current.

Famous quotes containing the word mouth:
“He humbled you by letting you hunger, then by feeding you with manna, with which neither you nor your ancestors were acquainted, in order to make you understand that one does not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of the LORD.”
—Bible: Hebrew, Deuteronomy 8:3-8.
Scripture cited by Jesus when tempted in the wilderness.
“I cannot tell what I am as much afraid of, as a woman who invariably washes on Monday. It is a kind of key to character; and if her mouth is not puckered and her brow wrinkled, they will be, unless she repents.”
—Jane Grey Swisshelm (1815–1884)
“I want mother’s milk,
that good sour soup.
I want breasts singing like eggplants,
and a mouth above making kisses.
I want nipples like shy strawberries
for I need to suck the sky.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
