Attended an event at the churches unlocked festival. A graveyard tour around Margam Abbey. The most famous (and harrowing) story was that of Robert Scott. On the morning of Friday, June 10, 1898 the body of a gamekeeper was found on Margam mountain - he had been shot in the face with a shotgun. Joseph Lewis of Maesteg was later arrested after bragging about what he did. He was hung on 29th August in Swansea prison.

Has a week flown by already? Just a few photos from the Margam Community Christmas Tree Festival we visited last weekend.

You pay for the car park, but otherwise free entry to the castle (donations being collected).

Highly recommended. All of the trees are stunning, some are pretty, some are funny, but some are incredibly thought-provoking.
