Margam Park Trip

We spent yesterday at Margam Park - taking Elis out for a nice day trip whilst he's on his half-term week. I've not been for a good few years, and had forgotten lots of bits and bobs around the place. It's a great place to visit, lots to see, some stunning views and wonderful air - if the winds blowing the fumes from Port Talbot and the M4 in the opposite direction!

We has some nice light to start, but then it was hit and miss as clouds moved in. For your visual entertainment, some shots around the place.
