I’m sorry to find nobody here as it’s not open on weekends. I’m reviewing the place as is quiet and serene. Loved to the local people and full of history. Seems interesting the church is for sure interesting. Worth a visit as the site is popular in walkings. See the pictures in a sunny day!

It would be nice to one day find it actually open. Having nicked the original Bodvoc’s stone (amongst other heritage milestones etc) from the overlooking hill and sequestered them away here I’d appreciate the museum opening sometimes so that I could see them
Fantastic collection, but paid 5 at 2 o'clock and got the key and the woman in the Abbey sent a man saying they wanted the key back & they don't close to 4 we drove 200 miles, I think we should have had a refund,
We took a wrong turn for Margam Park and ended up here we parked at this church and stone museum, it was open and noyone around to pay ? Myself and my mother in law found it very interesting and i myself had not even heard of the stone museum and weve lived local for many decades. Awsome pieces of our country's history carved in stone and found local to wales amazing really! We entered expecting to pay the 2.50 each which is well worth it for viewing these items upclose touching the writings of man/woman from thousands of years ago :) We then entered the church abbey wow gorgeous and it folloed through out to the very old abbey ruins and orangary we realised we where then in the actuall park ! The abbey door closes at 3.30 it was 3pm so we left and went to find the main carparkwhich was further up the main rd but its was 6.00 and things where closing from 4.30 onwards so we decided to come back and spend a whole day and not be rushing i think the parking charge is reasonable but that for disabled customers like myself there should be consessions .... i so look foward to returning in comming weeks :)
Medieval Margam was dominated by its magnificent Cistercian Abbey, and ruins still survive in the beautiful parkland here today. A place of religious faith and learning in the Middle Ages, evidence from Margam shows traditions stretching back much further. The stone Celtic crosses now housed in the Stones Museum suggest a long devotional history here, and the Iron Age hillfort behind Margam Castle (nineteenth century) was occupied by the Silures tribe who fought against Roman occupiers in the first century AD. Margam Abbey survived threats to its existence throughout the Middle Ages, including a severe attack by Welsh rebels during the revolt of Owain Glyn Dwr (1412), due to its perceived English allegiances. The Abbey was dissolved under Henry VIII in 1536. (Read more about Margam and download a local historical walk here on the St Thomas Way website)
Really interesting place, loads of old Celtic stone crosses to look at and learn about the history.
Get your rocks off
Not worth a visit unless you are into grave stones.
