Margam sits on the coastal plain of Neath Port Talbot in Wales and is best known for Margam Park, a large country park with a deer herd, Victorian Margam Castle and the atmospheric ruins of Margam Abbey. The park and its history make it a popular spot for walks, events and heritage visitors, while the industrial silhouette of nearby Port Talbot steelworks is a reminder of the area’s long relationship with heavy industry.
Tai-bach is a compact, traditionally working-class suburb close to the town centre of Port Talbot, with rows of terraces, community facilities and local shops serving generations of families tied to the steel and mining economy. It has a strong local identity and faces the same regeneration and economic challenges as much of Neath Port Talbot, but benefits from good transport links and active community groups working to sustain services and neighbourhood life.
