After rain all week, we were blessed with a beautiful clear and crisp fall weekend. Saturday was spent working around the house. On Sunday we decided to take the kids to Margam Park for a picnic lunch and some exploring. It has been recommended to us a few times and since its only about 25 minutes from our house we thought it would be a fun Sunday outing.
Margam Park is an 850 acre country estate that is one of the oldest human settlement areas in Glamorgan. The current Tudor Style Castle was built in the early 19th century. The park is covered with open grasslands, forests, animal park, kids play area, a train, a castle, ruines of an ancient abbey etc. Here are some pictures from the outing. Note the picture of the billy goat. The kids called him the big billy goat from 'The Billy Goats Gruff'.
