The mansion house (sometimes referred to as Margam Castle) in Margam Park, near Port Talbot in South Wales. This building dates from construction from 1829 to 1839, built for the Mansel Talbot family, who gave their name to the nearby industrial town. Listed Grade 1, it passed out of the Talbot family hands in 1942, but was in a ruinous state when acquired by the County Council in 1974.
Worse was to come in 1977 when fire gutted much of the inside, but continuing restoration work has brought some parts back into use, with the Drawing Room, Library and Dining Room available for events, whilst the Staircase and Entrance Hallways are open to the public.
The house is set in parkland that extends to over 850 acres, the area including woodland, moorland, a lake, formal gardens and a superb orangery and six Scheduled Ancient Monuments. Two are Iron Age hill forts, two are medieval religious sites, one is a museum and one is a World War II installation. There is also a railway linking the main car park to the house.
