Margam Country Park
Great scenery, about 30 - 40 minutes walk uphill. You're able to walk around the reservoir although make sure to wear wellingtons or boots as it can get very muddy!
If you're unsure about directions please feel free to ask me.
You walk along the track behind the cabins until you get a a space on the road where you can park your car, you then cross the road and climb over a large slab of concrete. Follow the path all the up to the res, please make sure to alway keep the river to your right!!
