Investment in new facilities at Margam Country Park

An investment in facilities at Margam Country Park will see the installation of new electric vehicle charging points and has seen the refurbishment of public toilet facilities in the Margam Castle Courtyard.

The public toilet refurbishment is now complete with work due to be finished soon on the new electric vehicle charging points.

Neath Port Talbot Council secured funding of £250,000 to deliver the improvements via Visit Wales’ Brilliant Basics fund 2022/2023. In addition to this, Neath Port Talbot Council allocated a further £118,000 to deliver the scheme.

The Brilliant Basics Fund supports public, third sector and not for profit organisations to deliver basic small scale tourism infrastructure improvements which help ensure all visitors to Wales have a positive and memorable experience throughout their stay.

The recently refurbished Castle Courtyard public facilities include better provision for families with a unisex parent and child toilet and additional cubicles for visitors with varying degrees of access needs.

The electric vehicle charging points will be located in the main visitor car park and the Orangery car park and will enable our visitors to charge their electric vehicles during their visit.

Cllr Cen Phillips, Neath Port Talbot Council’s Cabinet Member for Nature, Tourism and Wellbeing said: “We are pleased to have been able to secure funding via the Brilliant Basics scheme to enable this important investment to go ahead.  

“We would like to thank our visitors for their patience and understanding while the courtyard facilities were closed, allowing the works to be completed as quickly as possible”.
