My favourite bit was the Wood Vibrations Trail. No photos because I was too busy enjoying myself making music on hollowed out tree stumps. A number of years ago I took drumming classes for a while. I loved it but gave it up. It wasn't that I have no sense of rhythm; it was more that my rhythm was slightly only out of sync with everyone else's.
Our walk began with this magnificent dragon carved out of a fallen tree. The head in its mouth is a little disturbing but the artistry is wonderful.
They have a farm trail now with a number of rare and local breeds such as Glamorgan cattle. Thought to have disappeared some were found and now there is a successful herd at Margam.
They are distinctive with their lovely chestnut coat with a white strip over the rump and under the belly.
There's a huge adventure playground for older children as well as acres of woods to walk and explore. A small train running from castle to car park added to Grandson4's enjoyment.
An added bonus was the booty of windfall pears I collected. There were loads on the ground and the deer weren't eating them so I thought, 'Why not?' I'm sure I didn't look at all guilty or suspicious as I furtively glanced around before throwing pears into the bottom of the buggy.
They don't look very appetising because I left them to cool in the oven and they got a bit wrinkly but trust me: pears baked with butter and brown sugar are delicious.

Those pears look delicious. I love the colour they've gone.
Wow! I thought I was hallucinating when I saw that dragon in the wood. How wondrous ;-)
Liz, I saw this advert and thought of you and George (he is a golden labrador/retriever, isn't he?

Ha ha ha, Gledwood! I thought it was serious then a joke and then I realised it was sort of serious! Brilliant.
