    Addicted to eighteenth century related houses and their history? Then this park is the most…read moreglorious place to visit. You will be surprised at every corner that you take; there is an eighteenth Century Orangery, the twelfth Century Chapter House, the most cutest deer herd within the whole of Wales and there are so many of them that photographers won't know what to do with themselves. A Tudor-Gothic style, Victorian Mansion House and Ornamental gardens also take place at the stunning area, where Margam Park lie's. I love this place it is so beautiful it is hard not to want to live there; if it was available to do so and it you could afford such fantastic house and it's ground. It would be a brilliant day out for all, which would be great for parents and children too. You can find out all that you need to on the companies fantastic website. There is so much to see and do there that you will have to go back there more than once, a fabulous summer holiday, day out. Fun for all the family! It is a place that is situated near Port Talbot which is about half an hour away from Cardiff. So I recommend it to all...

Kind of wished I didn't waste time coming here, there's barely nothing to do. I don't know why people hype it up. You can walk along the low tide water, go on the pier, a couple of cafes and the smallest arcade in the world. The knitted figures in the pictures were the highlight of the visit. Catherine Zeta Jones and Michael Douglas apparently have a house here. I guess it's a good location to get away from the press. A very sleepy town.

What a contrast! The actual pier itself, starts off OK, fantastic setting, poking its way out into Swansea Bay, traditional wood and iron structure. It then gets really delapidated - fenced off end bit with rotten floor boards up, great gaps with stomach churning drop to sea below. A woman was whimpering as she gingerly made her way back to the entrance to the pier - she had suddenly become spooked by the sight of the water 40 feet below through the cracks in the wooden flooring and anyone bouncing along (like me, not realising!) set her off again. Now where are you going to get thrills like this for 50p? This has to be at least a 4 star attraction, a must see, if nothing but to view it in this contrasting state - with luck so you can recall what it was like before the promised renovation. The location is excellent - panoramic views of Swansea Bay right across to Port Talbot and beyond over the waters. The little lifeboat station is a quaint beacon of brightness and the iron girders make a complex crisscross pattern in the setting sun. And if fishing takes your bait, then pay £3 a rod and cast away to your hearts content at the end of the pier. Highly recommended.

    Coity Castle is a magical place full of distant battle cries and that incredible sense that…read moreimportant things have happened there. Built in 1100 and then rebuilt after a siege by Owain Glyndwr, this is a castle often overlooked by visitors to Wales, despite its extremely important part in Welsh history. Although other castles, such as Cardiff Castle, Caerphilly Castle and Castell Coch, are more visited, I would argue that it's the lesser known relics which are more interesting. This Medieval castle is built up on a hill, with clear evidence of moats, and looks almost like a half-rotten tooth sticking up into the sky. It has just as much grandeur and fairy-tale quality as a person could ask for in a castle. This historic site is well worth a visit; sunset will reward you will specular photographs and views.

    This is another of South Wales's impressive Norman Castles, standing in ruins near the town of…read moreBridgend in South Wales, not far from Cardiff. It was built by Sir Payn "the Demon" de Turberville, one of the legendary Twelve Knights of Glamorgan who are supposed to have conquered the area under the leadership of Robert FitzHamon, Lord of Gloucester. Although it was originally built soon after 1100, a lot of the castle actually dates from the fourteenth century and later. Parts of it were rebuilt following the siege by Owain Glyn Dr in 1404-05. Despite being in ruins, there are still plenty of interesting features to see - including the remains of the central octagonal pillar for the vaults of the castle. If you have OS map 170 the reference is SS 923815. Nearby you can also visit Newcastle and Ogmore Castles in a day trip.
