fantastic waterfall up stream from lady falls. to get here you follow through paths and the occasional river crossing, can be slippery so advise good footwear, good trainers should be ok. it's about 800m from lady falls. near the einion falls itself their is a very tricky bit a steep hill path on the right, takes you 30/40metres through a cliff hanging pass where you need to concretate. you can avoild this by keep walking along the river. once at the falls its just magical and its possible to have it to yourself. to actually get right up to the falls your need to swim cos it is deep. really worth the effort.

Amazing bike park. We stayed here for two days biking and wasn’t disappointed. It’s mountainous so tough hill climbs but so worth it. E bikes are brill here!!! The views are amazing and the downhill trails exhilarating. It has a lovely river running through the valley with an easy trail to explore for the less adventurous. We’ll be back.

We stayed at a campsite on the edge of the forest. Great walks and scenery. Quiet and peaceful. Maybe a bit busier on weekends. Take a flask, water and some food and enjoy a picnic. A great place to forget the outside world. Good for biking if that's your thing.

If you like natural beauty, beautiful surroundings and fresh air, make a visit to this fantastic park. There’s a small charge for parking the car, but it’s a beautiful estate and well worth it. Long walks possible with a play park for the children and a decent cafe. We had a really long walk round the park and encountered all sorts of flora, fauna and wildlife. A real treat for city-dwellers!

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.

Boasting some of the finest scenery in Wales, Go Ape is a great option if you're looking for things to do in South Wales. Our very first Welsh Tree Top Adventure, located in the beautiful Margam Country Park, and home to the largest deer herd in Wales. It's a day out like no other in South Wales, close to both Swansea and Cardiff. You'll enjoy some splendid landscapes as you swing through the trees and fly down our zip wires. Go Ape Tree Top Adventure involves fun and adventure across five sites. Each site features our award-winning high ropes, crossings, tunnels, bridges and epic wind-in-your-face zip wires to finish. Margam Country Park is simply stunning.

My bf and I went there 2 weeks ago. We really loved the hills where we could see deer.we climbed to the top where you can marvel the stunning view. Lake, castle and beautiful landmark❤❤❤❤???? Fresh air you can breath enough. There is a coffee shop(takeaway) for cheap price. We got there by bus(they run every 40mins) If you plan to come now, bear in mind *hotels accept only business travellers who can show their job confirmation* We booked a hotel via Agoda as leisure travellers n when we reached the hotel after a long trip they refused to accept cause of government restrictions(they are in Tier4) But we loved Cardiff despite that❤❤????????

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.

I’ve read the other reviews and they all say what I would. It’s so easy to access these falls, just a few minutes from the car park. It’s great. If you would like to make it more interesting then it’s a good idea to get up on top of the falls. There is a set of steps in the right, just before the falls that take you up. It’s pretty simple. As well as seeing the mouth of the falls, there is also a very old church up there, I think it’s Resolven Church which is lovely to pay a visit to.

We had friends visiting, one of whom loves waterfalls, so as a team of four we took them on the four waterfalls route, it was raining & had been for a few days so the flow was fast and rivers full, which was probably the best time to view as not only beautiful but also less crowds. You really do need sensible footwear, I cannot express how many people we passed wearing good trainers, even a lady in sandals with side holes in, all squelching around, looking miserable as they had wet dirty feet. its muddy if it’s been raining and you will come across small streams & big muddy puddles in the trail so be prepared and it makes it even more enjoyable. We took just over 3 hours to complete the whole route & wasn’t pushing it & taking in plenty of picture opportunities. There are lots of steps, the routes are clearly marked and mapped well, liked the railway sleepers used on the boggy bits, makes access so much better & cleaner! We were all blown away by the beauty of all waterfalls and surrounding areas. I especially was in awe of the tree roots in the area really detailed. Thoroughly enjoyed by all & would return again. Doesn’t cost anything to visit the waterfalls apart from a £4 car park fee. Founded it easy to park.

I've known this park since I was a baby and living in this town. Since moving away I always come and sit here near the bandstand and just chill whenever I visit. The gardens is an ideal place to come and sit on one if the benches and just relax amongst the colourful flowers and perfectly kept grass.
