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!

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.

We haven't eaten at The Butcher's for many, many years - back in the days of chicken in a basket, in fact - but we'd heard good things about the new menu & the new chef. We decided on a midweek treat and we weren't disappointed. Staff were friendly & attentive and the food was probably some of the best I've had in a VERY long time. Forget "pub food" - what you can expect is top restaurant quality. Book a table at The Butcher's - you won't be disappointed!

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.
