The Orangery

Wedding venue

👍👍 As a wedding photographer my self it was a really nice setting for a wedding.

Maen Llia

Historical landmark

👍👍 The oldest (4000 years old!) and the biggest standing stone in Wales. 3.7m tall - massive 🤩 I felt so small standing on its side! The display sign was moulded in the shape of the stone itself and talks about the Bronze Age. Great history lesson for all ages! 🪨 The access to the stone is easy (ar...

Capel Mair

Historical landmark

👍👍 The views from the ruined church are quietly inspirational within the natural setting. Looking down on the sea dunes, the reservoir, and of course the Margam country estate. Plus a bit of the steel works and the M4 that is far enough away not to intrude. The ruins themselves benefit from being re...

Bodvoc's Stone

Historical landmark

😐 A replica of the original Romano-British (not Anglo Roman as stated by another poster. There were no Anglos in Britain at the time of the romans) marker stone, which has been spirited away to the Margam Stones Museum. It’s in lovely surroundings, with great views. If you consider those non-native pi...
