St Fagan's Museum

Things to do in Cardiff

Welsh Museum of Country Life St Fagan's

Part of the National Museum of Wales, St Fagan's is approx 3 miles west of the city centre and consists of interesting old buildings moved brick-by brick from around Wales and reassembled with complete with period contents in lovely parkland.

Has chapels, churches, houses and shops but as a living tribute to welsh non-conformism no pub! (Although the Plymouth arms is just outside the front entrance).

There's also a working pottery, bronze age village and farm with real animals for the kids. St Fagan's is pronounced with a hard 'a' as in 'bag'.

Free admission but charge to park.

Gwalia Stores

Gwalia Stores

The stores are a real-life version of Arkwrights in 'Open all Hours' - stocking everything from washboards to tinned peas. One side is a museum display but the other side sells a mouth-watering selection of sweets, drinks and ice-creams. Upstairs the storage and office area is now a tea-room.
