Overview

Come and enjoy extensive views over Margam Country Park as we make our way to the ‘Bro Stone’ pulpit, high above the Victorian Mansion.

If we have a clear day, once we get to the Pulpit Viewpoint, we will have views over to Devon, Somerset and the Gower Peninsula.

Hopefully, we will be fortunate to see some of the deer that roam the park.
