The best museums Carmarthenshire (Sir Caerfyrddin)

In a former 17th century mill, in the heart of beautiful nature, National Coracle Museum is a museum is dedicated to the coracle. A coracle is a somewhat primitive boat from the era still used in some parts of the world. It is a kind of round boat like a half coconut that was used by the Celts for river fishing. It is still used today by some fishermen around Cenarth and - above all - excursions are organised for the curious. It takes about 45 minutes to visit the site, including the tour.

Historically, wool has been Wales' most important industry. This fascinating museum celebrates this textile material, once exported all over the world. You can even try your hand at it! The National Wool Museum is also a workshop where machines and craftsmen work on a daily basis. Admission is free, which may be an alternative on rainy days, for example. Many activities are organized for children (and not only). The agenda is available on their website.

Immerse yourself in the history of Carmarthenshire at this small but comprehensive museum. You'll find many life-size reconstructions of life in the county at different times. Life in the mines, the first telephones, an early ^20th-century classroom - you'll find all these stories and more. For adults and children alike, this free museum is a great place to have a good time. The surrounding park is also well worth a visit, with a charming pond ideal for family walks.
