Excellent transport links
Your new home in Port Talbot is well placed for roads, with the M4 taking the lion’s share of the road traffic with. junctions 38 to 41 serving the town. Swansea is around 10 miles to the west, with the Gower Peninsular Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty a further five miles away. Capital, Cardiff is only 33 miles or 50 minutes' drive.
Train services from Port Talbot Parkway to Swansea, Cardiff, Bristol and London Paddington, as well as to Crewe and Manchester Piccadilly. It takes about 40 mins by train to get to Cardiff and about 20 minutes to Swansea.
The great outdoors
One of the most exciting new leisure opportunities in the pipeline for this area comes in the form of the Afan Valley Adventure Resort. Your new home is a stone's throw from skiing, an aqua centre, an equestrian centre, zip wires and a tree-top adventure course – and to cap it all, The Bear Grylls Survival Academy. If that all sounds too much, you will be able to book into a luxury on-site spa. In the meantime, you’ve got the local beach at Aberavon and nearby Swansea Bay, the Gower Peninsula Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the Afan Forest and of course the mountains of the Brecon Beacons National Park.
Great local amenities
It’s all very well planning days out, but it’s good to know that day-to-day services are all on hand too, from shops and supermarkets to schools and sports clubs. Your new home has the pick of four comprehensive secondary schools, as well as the Neath Port Talbot Further Education College and a campus of the University of Wales. To shop till you drop it's an easy trip into Swansea for high-street brands, or to Cardiff for renowned retail therapy.
