Margam Country Park

I spent the day here with my wife and 2 boys (10 & 3 years old). There was plenty of parking available, and there was an entry fee, which was quite expensive at £7.20. The park is kept in excellent t condition and I'd recommend planning in a full day for your visit as there is quite a lot of ground to cover and lots to see.The Manor House itself always seems to be having some restoration work done, or at least it has the few times I have visited over the past few years.The gardens are well kept and are perfect for people looking for some nice family photos. Near the gardens are some tiny houses in a kids' park that depict nursery rhymes inside. The boys loved this little park as it had assault courses and massive board games.The cafe located next to the Manor House was rather pricey but the quality of the food was very good.There was another kids' play area with wooden climbing frames, etc. On the way from the Manor house to the farm area, against the backdrop of the Port Talbot steel works. This was a well-kept park, although lacking in benches, but there were some rocks to sit on.The farm area had a variety of farm animals, which were relatively tame and enjoyed a fuss from the boys.There is a nice little trail that takes you back to the car park. It would be great if you are a dog owner or like me making every effort to wear the kids out.Great day out, I would recommend bringing a packed lunch if you're aiming to keep the spend down. Will definitely pay a visit again in the near future. Maybe next time, we will tackle the Go Ape course or even explore some of the walking trails.

Great park, so much to do there and great to walk the dogs. A nice cafe with great food and drinks and a lovely house at the top as well. Also some wild deer / animals here. A must visit!

Great walks, dog friendly. Lovely little Cafe with a nice variety of drinks & dishes. Plenty of clean restrooms about. Make sure you pop into the indoor market and buy some of the monks soap, jams and chutney's.

Enormous and gorgeous park. Visited this place to see the Kite Festival, and we truly enjoyed it. It was well maintained and the staff were friendly. They explained some of the plants when they saw me having an interest in them. Perfect spot for a picnic in good weather. Beautiful ruins and gardens.

Brilliant place for the kids. Couple of parks, both with plenty going on. The Fairytal one with the little houses is great and the castle great for hide and seek. Pedalo, go karts for getting about. Only thing I'd say lets it down is no decent food, burger van and couple of other things but couldn't find any cafe etc. But I may have missed it. Great little farm also.

A wonderful family day out.A large estate to walk around with wild animals and farm animals, historic buildings and a small stream train to ride.Sometimes there's historical events on - this time was a reenactment of an English civil war battle.

Visited for the luminate Christmas trail. What a beautiful, beautiful event! Went with a two year old and nine year old, didn't take a pram but definitely could have. It was so magical, we spent a good two hours there. It was a feel good place, it was relaxed and not rushed and we absolutely loved it and will definitely be returning again. We usually do Bute park but decided against it due to the parking and I ended up preferring it. It was wonderful!

The light displays were beautiful. It wasn't overcrowded, so you could stroll through at a leisurely pace without being herded, unlike other places we have been. There were interactive displays dotted around and a lovely display of fairies that the children loved. The food was well placed, and there were plenty of choices. We took our own marshmallows, and you can use the firepits provided to toast them.

Lovely place for walking and enjoying the open space. Animal walk trail has alpaca's they were so cute my niece (2yrs) got to feed them. Castle was closed for works but it had no effect on us as was not planning on going inside today. Children's fairytale land could prob do with some upgrading bit worn looking. £7.50 for a car not to bad if you plan to be there a few hrs.
