The best museums Gwynedd

The visit to the museum is fairly long. It begins with a film recounting Lloyd George's life. Then panels tell the story of his political work, his family life... Display cases show objects that belonged to him, such as the enormous pencil he used to write his memoirs! Next, a museum guide takes you into the cottage where he was raised by his mother and uncle. On the first floor, his uncle's shoemaking workshop and the dining room where Lloyd George did his homework. Upstairs, the bedroom.

Small museum that traces the history of boat building in the region. There are models of sailing ships and navigational tools. Pictures of the old port are also on display, at a time when shipbuilding was in full swing. A video also retraces the history of the place. If Porthmadog was the port from which the slate left, the sailboats also fetched salt from Spain to bring it to North America. If the museum is quiet, the cashier can give you a guided tour if you ask him nicely!
