I’m creeping closer to joining up Abertawe and Caerdydd with another 5 ️ Slow Ways route from Y Pil to Port Talbot. Perfect route for wheels with a cycle path and Wales Coast Path running between the two settlements via Margam Park. #Abertawe #Swansea #Caerdydd #Cardiff #YPil #Pyle #PortTalbot #Margam #MargamPark #SlowWays #Bridgend #PenybontYrOgwr #Wales #Cymru #CoastPath #Cerdded #Cymraeg

A snail signifying that the route has been accredited after three people have reviewed it.

The ancient church of St James on the edge of Pyle.

The route was very urban following a main road so it was nice to see a few poppies springing up alongside the kerb of the A48.

A few photos from a cold #Wander in #MargamCountryPark yesterday;

A #Robin
A pair of #RoeDeer
A magical looking #trees
and the great view from The #BroStone

You can see more of my photos at:

Frosty Robin:

A robin stands upright on top of a small pile of frost covered, brown leaves, it's red breast highlighted in the morning sun. In the background, long green stems of grass are encrusted in frost. In the foreground a patch of sand with fallen leaves is also covered in a heavy frost

Roe Deer:

Two roe deer stand alert on a hillside covered in grass, gorse and brown bracken. They stand side on to the camera, facing one another. Both have red/brown fur, darker on the back and lightening to white at their throat, bellies and bottoms. Faint lighter coloured spots can just be seen on their flanks. The left hand deer is smaller than the other.

Split tree:

An old tree stands on an otherwise hill top, with more hills rising behind it. The tree is dramatically split almost entirely down the centre with the heart of the tree visible on both sides, although currently bare of any leaves, both halves have a dense canopy of branches.

View from The Bro Stone:

A large, irregular shaped stone stands vertically, the word "bro" can just be seen carved into it's rear face. A low stone wall forms a circle around it and the ground drops sharply away in front of it with the tops of conifer trees visible. further ahead, and below, green farmland is punctured by patches of leafless woodland and bounded by the M4 motorway, where a few vehicles can be seen. There is then a large rectangular reservoir, it's still water reflecting the image of electricity pylons. Further on a band of rough shrub-land leads to grass covered sand dunes at the edge of a still blue sea

A #Wander in the hills and #woods today, with a circular walk along (the alternative route of) the #WalesCoastPath between #MargamPark and #Brombil and back again.

Met a very obliging #GreySquirrel on the way to the picturesque ruin of the 14th Century #CapelMair.

The last picture is a panoramic shot (so click, zoom and pan), showing part of the #PortTalbot #TataSteel plant, which is prominent in the UK news at the moment

A Grey Squirrel:

A healthy looking Grey Squirrel sits on it's haunches on top of a fallen tree. It's fluffy grey tail is held erect and it's forepaws are held across it's white chest. It's ears, face and front paws are a ginger colour

Capel Mair:

Looking up a grass and bracken covered slope towards the Eastern end of a ruined grey stone chapel. Both arched end walls are largely intact, with some stone details around the large windows still visible. The side walls are more damaged, with the closer one to the camera mostly fallen down. The sky is a deep blue with a high thin covering of white cloud breaking up

An Oak and Beech wood:

Looking up a wooded slope covered in fallen leaves. The trees are mostly Oaks and Beech In full leaf and the bright sun shining through the canopy gives the light a green tinge

A Panoramic shot from the hills above Margam:

Looking from a grassy path above a steep bracken covered slope that leads down to the M4 motorway, which can be seen disappearing into the distance in the left of the photo. From left to Right, the green fields of Margam Park and a large reservoir either side of the motorway give way to the industrial structures of the Tata Steel plant, which stretches to rightmost of the photo. In the distance Swansea and the Gower coastline can be made out over Swansea Bay

This dead tree in the hills above #MargamPark remind me (with a bit of imagination) of the antlers of the stags which can also be seen there. Another old #DailyPhoto for (not so) #ThickTrunkTuesday

A dead tree stands amongst bracken and shrubs, with a green hillside in the background and a lightly clouded sky above. The many branching crooked limbs of the tree remind me of the antlers of a stag

Now that it’s closed for the year, I thought I’d post some photos from Luminate at Margam Park - didn’t want to post these before in case of spoilers! #luminateuk #margampark #lights

Has a week flown by already? Just a few photos from the Margam Community Christmas Tree Festival we visited last weekend.

You pay for the car park, but otherwise free entry to the castle (donations being collected).

Highly recommended. All of the trees are stunning, some are pretty, some are funny, but some are incredibly thought-provoking.

A-board sign pointing the way to the Margam Community Christmas Tree Festival.

Four-sided pyramid tree, made from strips of recycled wood, with decorations pinned to the strips in rows.

Tree by Neath Little Theatre, made from a stack of circular platforms, on which were several dioramas from Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol.

Pizza Christmas tree from Gower Dough Co., a cartoon figure of a smiling pizza holding up a sign and making a 'peace' hand gesture.

Todays walk took me up into the hills above #MargamPark .Great views including this Panorama, looking over industrial #PortTalbot with The #Gower in the far distance. Also got an obligatory #Defaidodon pic, A flowering #Rhododendron (In November!?!) and some funky #Fungi

Rhododendron Plant with thick green leaves a 4 purple buds looking ready to open into flowers

Panoramic view , The edge of a large standing stone can be seen to the right of the picture. A low stone wall in the foreground, looking down over green hills covered in bushes and some trees , green farmland in the distance and the sea in the far distance. Sky is patches of blue but mostly light white or grey clouds

2 species of fungi growing close together out of green pasture. On the left are 3 round, orange/brown examples of 1 species. On the right are 3 smaller, Golden/yellow examples of a different species
