Margam Country Park in Wales has been voted the winner in the 2013 People’s Choice category in the Green Flag Awards, which is the benchmark national standard for parks and green spaces in England and Wales.

The 850-acre country estate, at Port Talbot, is home to a 19th century Tudor mansion and it’s history can be traced back to pre-historic times.

Managed by Neath Port Talbot County Borough Council, the park offers a host of activities, including orienteering, cycling, fishing, deer watching, geocaching, archery and Go Ape.

London’s Victoria Park in Tower Hamlets, which has recently been refurbished, was runner up.
