Neath Port Talbot Travel Guide

Dating back to the Bronze Age, the seaside town of Port Talbot in Wales is an excellent base from which to explore the best of the Welsh countryside and coast. Usually associated with its steelworks, the lesser-known side of Port Talbot is that is has a great range of outdoor activities, from windsurfing to mountain biking and even a treetop assault course!

If you’re passionate about the great outdoors, then Neath is the place for you. Nestling conveniently between Glamorgan’s Heritage Coast and the Brecon Beacons National Park, Neath is something of a mecca for mountain bikers and hikers alike, uniquely positioned as it is to provide the very best Welsh, and indeed British, coastline, mountain and green valley landscapes. What’s more, with Swansea never more than just a short road-trip away you will also have quick and easy access to the city fast becoming known as “the Brighton of Wales”, where you can let your hair down once you’ve burnt some calories on the mountain trails!
