Work has started on a new £250m holiday resort in Wales with forest lodges, zip lines and a spa.
The first steps towards the creation of the Wildfox adventure holiday resort in Port Talbot's Afan Valley have been taken, with fencing and temporary footpath closures set up around a development site.
It will be the first resort developed by new company - Wildfox Resorts Group - and when it finally opens, guests will be accommodated in 570 lodges and 130 apartments and rooms, while enjoying a wide range of indoor and outdoor adventure activities such as wild swimming, mountain biking, hiking, canyoning, bouldering and more.

With construction taking place in stages, WalesOnline reports the development, which was given planning permission last year, will take a long time - with the man leading the project hoping it will be ready by 2027.
The first resort, nestled in the Afan Valley will offer a unique combination of experiences set against panoramic views of the area. The idea behind Wildfox Resorts Group's mission is to create lifestyle resorts that build 'memorable experiences' according to the company.
Afan Valley will be the first of three proposed resorts in the UK, and will include facilities like two state-of-the-art zip wires giving people views of the valley like never before, canyoning and coasteering experiences, which will be the first of their kind in the UK, forest lodges and more.
The Afan Valley resort will be located seven miles north east of Port Talbot, nestled between the communities of Cymmer, Caerau, Croeserw and Duffryn Rhondda.
