With over three quarters of the County covered by forested hills
and valleys, it is easy to see why Neath Port Talbot is a haven for
walkers of all ages and abilities.
With 14 way marked walking trails at Afan Forest Park, 6 walks at Margam Country Park and an array of waterfall
walks in the Waterfall Country, within
the Valleys and Vales of Neath Port Talbot visitors are spoilt for
choice.
Created in June 2011 as part of the Wales Coast Path, the
