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.

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!

6. Margam Park

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.

The tin works and the waterfalls are well signed and has a little car park opposite, or you can park at the roadside. There is a little shop and tearooms on site. The history of the tin works is explained well as it walk around the site. The waterfall is very beautiful
