Margam Abbey & Stones Museum

Margam Abbey Church, founded in 1147 is the only Cistercian Foundation in Wales whose nave is still intact and used for Christian worship. Other remains of the Monastery include a twelve-sided Chapter House in early English style located within Margam Country Park.

Margam Abbey Stones Museum is a small but significant museum in the care of CADW, housing a collection of inscribed pre- Romanesque, Roman and Celtic stones and crosses, some found within the Margam area, including the great Wheel Cross of Conbelin. Guided tours of both the Abbey and the Stones Museum are available by arrangement with the Margam Parish Office.
