Margam Park

Reviewed By johndolbear

Six pounds to park your car gives you access to the park. In no time at all you feel your in wild country with fabulous views over the Bristol Channel to the south and the Brecon Beacons to the North. The main paths are well maintained with lots of lesser paths to explore. The formal gardens around the main house, church and orangery are very well laid out and even in early February were attractive.

Aberavon Beach

Reviewed By joshbC9754YG - Llanelli, United Kingdom

i've recently become quite a fan of Aberavon Beach. it's so well used by dog walkers, surfers, families, joggers, skaters and everyone in between. i've visited many times since i've discovered this beautiful beach and it is always being used. Whether it's a coffee outside one of the chip shops, a day on the beach or a walk across the promenade there is always someone to give you a friendly hello in all kinds of weather. With stunning sights of the Swansea Bay coast line, the marina and Mumbles it's a great spot to take in some of the beauty South Wales has to offer. Top Tip: it's a great place to gather on any fire works night and enjoy them all across Swansea.

Margam Stones Museum

Reviewed By deanallenjones - Colchester, United Kingdom

I visited Margam Park and had an amazing time, however the true gem isn't part of the park per say. The stones museum AND the Abby! The places are beautiful yes but the staff are truly remarkable. A lady could tell we were interested in the history and the architecture of the place and took the time to go through the whole story of the place, even going so far as to explain the context of events with society at the time. If you go then you will see some beautiful buildings but PLEASE talk to the staff they truly are guardians of lore
