This important nature reserve is a 'green lung' on the edge of the Village Farm Industrial Estate, Pyle within Bridgend County Borough. It is a haven for wildlife including nuthatch, wood mouse, speckled common blue damselfly and palmate newt.

The woodland is dominated by ash and oak with an understorey of hazel and holly. Common flowers on the woodland floor include herb Robert, sanicle and enchanter's nightshade

The pond is edged by greater spearwort, club rush, and during the summer months a number of species of dragonfly can be seen flying over the pond in search of a mate and food.

Being of great interest to wildlife almost makes Frog Pond Wood LNR popular with locals who use it for a number of purposes such as an outdoor classroom, walk their dog or pass through their on bikes as the site is located along a community route.

Although officially Frog Pond Wood, locals also call the LNR by its other name of 'Froggy Pond'.

Bridgend County Borough Council owns and manages the Frog Pond Wood, which was designated an LNR in 1993.

Management of the site includes litter picking, coppicing and scrub clearance around the pond. These works are carried out with the support of the Countryside Council for Wales, Coed Cymru, Pencoed College and local residents.
