Margam Stones Museum
Overview
What was originally a Victorian schoolhouse now houses a number of important pre- and post-Conquest early Christian memorials. Of around 30 stones in the museum, 17 are pre-Norman (downstairs) and the rest are from Margam Abbey, mainly consisting of tomb slabs (upstairs). The Cross of Conbelin is probably the most striking exhibit. Photo credit: © Crown copyright (2015) Cadw

About the area
As its name suggests, the main urban areas in this Welsh county borough are the industrial hubs of Neath and Port Talbot.
With a cityscape dominated by Europe’s largest steelworks, Port Talbot is a town which might not make for a natural tourist destination, but is essential to the local economy.
