The town of Neath has overcome its past as a centre of copper smelting to become a spacious, pleasantly ordinary place that is overshadowed by near neighbour Swansea. Port Talbot is a town in which you're unlikely to linger, though a few Victorian touches remain in the largely modern town centre, and the docks, including the impressive modern deep-water harbour with its mile-long breakwater, provide plenty of action
Whether you are visiting for a day or have lived here your entire life you will be sure to find something of interest to do or see in Neath Port Talbot. Explore the natural beauty of an area which boasts some of the best country and forest parks, dramatic waterfalls, meandering rivers and peaceful canals.
