Watersports buffs can head for the Glamorgan Heritage Coast (10 minutes) for paddleboarding or surfing adventures, while mountain bikers make the most of the steep trails at Afan Forest Park (50 minutes) and Bike Park Wales (40 minutes). Alternatively, channel your inner Stig at The South Wales Karting Centre (15 minutes), or take the kids for a workout on rope courses and Tarzan swings at Go Ape Margam (25 minutes). More sedate days out with younger kids can be spent at the Amelia Trust Farm (25 minutes), with cute bunny rabbits and Shetland ponies to pet, woodland trails to follow and play areas to romp around. Oakwood Theme Park (90 minutes) is a treat for all ages, with attractions ranging from toddler-friendly roundabouts to high-speed thrills and spills on the Megafobia wooden rollercoaster.
