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:
“Speak the speech ... trippingly on the tongue; but if you mouth it ... I had as lief the town crier had spoke my lines. Nor do not saw the air too much with your hand, thus, but use all gently; for in the very torrent, tempest, and as I may say the whirlwind of your passion, you must acquire and beget a temperance that may give it smoothness.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“All eager-lipped I kissed the mouth of Death.”
—Gwendolyn B. Bennett (1902–1981)
“It is not that the Englishman can’t feel—it is that he is afraid to feel. He has been taught at his public school that feeling is bad form. He must not express great joy or sorrow, or even open his mouth too wide when he talks—his pipe might fall out if he did.”
—E.M. (Edward Morgan)
