St. Fagans National Museum of History

St. Fagans National Museum of History: More Fun Than You'd Think! ​ Let me tell you, if you're ever near Cardiff, you have to go to St. Fagans. It's not a stuffy museum at all. It's this awesome outdoor village with a bunch of real houses and buildings from all over Wales that they moved here. ​You get to walk right inside and see what life was really like hundreds of years ago. We saw a baker making bread, a blacksmith working on some metal, and a rug maker making a rug out of sheep's wool, right in front of us—it was so cool to see how they do it. And at the heart of it all is a really beautiful old manor house—it's like a small palace! The gardens around it are stunning and perfect for a relaxing walk. ​The best part is that it's completely free to get in! You only have to pay for parking, so it's a super cheap day out. You can just wander around, have a picnic, and explore everything. Seriously, you should go!

We had a great experience at the Museum. Lovely main building with ample parking and facilities. It has a big food court too. The main attraction was the Welsh houses in the complex. They depict the ancient Welsh life effectively. Must have taken a lot of effort to relocate and rebuild these iconic buildings.

Second time visiting here and still found new places to explore. Such a great place to visit, need a third go to complete it. It's free but do donate when you arrive. Parking is £7.50 for the day. Loads of picnic areas. The fairground rides are between £1-£2 a go. A cheap day out and so much to see and do. Our grandson learnt so much there.

Lovely historical afternoon out. Beautiful walks and scenery. We loved the old fashioned fairground and arcade machines. Gorgeous bread from the bakery. Only downfall was there are lots of wasps about which of course cant be helped!

Wow! What a place! £7 for parking but free to go in, so if you look at it this way it was only £3.50 each for me and my son for the day. So much fun and interesting. I loved the Vulcan hotel, as real ale drinker it was a fantastic pint. My son had a slight sensory issue with some of the authentic smells. Just ment we moved on from those but a little quicker. He still had a great time. We only spent half a day, so we are planing our next visit for a full day.

The entry is completely free of charge. Definitely worth a visit when in or around Cardiff by taking the number 32 or 320 bus. We spent nearly 4 hours there, there's a lot to see, learn and the staff is exceptional. The lovely ladies at the main entrance reception can even call a taxi for you in case you are leaving later in the afternoon, when there are no more buses running. The price of taxi ride to Cardiff castle is roughly £18.

Highly recommend this unique museum which I hope I have more time to explore. Unless you drive there, best to go early if you have to count on public transport because the last bus leaves at 2.55pm. So much to see and so incredibly interesting that I don’t think 3 hours would be enough especially if you also wanted to venture to the castle. No admission fee is required for both.

Lovely day out again here. A nice display for the Welsh women's football team. Parking £7 per vehicle, or free for blue badge holders. Lots to see and do, and lots of history. Parks for the kids to keep them active, and a little dress up section in the gallery.

This museum is absolutely amazing! It is a huge outdoor museum, although it does have a few exhibits in the main building. Once you step outside, you can feel yourself being transported back in time (if you overlook the paved walkways). There are buildings that have been moved here from all over Wales, with deep history and great staff available to answer any questions.

St. Fagan's is made up of 50 buildings that were once all around Wales now moved into one central location here. You can consider this as an outdoor museum where you do need to walk from place to place to see all of its different buildings that help tell the story of Welsh history. Here are a couple of my observations: - The staff here is incredibly nice and knowledgeable. I appreciate that they are very willing to share their knowledge as it does make the place more interesting. - It's free! - It's really hard to call an Uber from here (last bus leaves at 5:30) because no one wants to drive from St. Fagan's to the City even though its only around 4 miles. - The museum makes Welsh their first language which I really appreciate as it shows that there's an active effort to revive the culture through language which you often don't see. - The attention to detail is incredible as in order to reconstruct these buildings, you have to label each brick and take multiple shots to make sure that it is in the same location when rebuilding the structure at St. Fagan's. - Every place here looks like the album cover of Taylor Swift's evermore. Overall, pretty interesting place. Definitely would say to visit if in Cardiff.

Love Love Love it here!!! After moving away to Los Angeles visiting St. Fagans was the first time I'd seen a pig in over a decade. Here I am, 21 years old, and squeeling *pardon the pun* with excitement (moreso than the 4 year old next to me) over the fact that mummy pig had a wet nose (snout!?) Going back to this place brought back childhood memories although now I was able to enjoy it rather than murmer and complain. I must've ate my weight in welsh cakes (super hard to find in Los Angeles!) and really enjoyed running around the grounds, and all the history. Places like St. Fagans are hard to find and deserve to be enjoyed!

Excellent! As always! I can't wait for the new old buildings to be complete so we can visit again. Top tip: pick up a fresh bloomer from the bakery!

I think it's a vast testament to St Fagans that, as a museum, people go back and back and back again. How many museums can really boast a massive local fan-base with a multitude of regulars? A round of applause please. If you've never been before St Fagans - formerly the Museum of Welsh Life - has something around every corner; castles and cottages, farm house and Celtic villages, Medieval churches and a pig sty... There are also a collection of interesting people who visit on any give day. A couple of Saturdays ago, some friends and I were mightily amused by two drunk old ladies who took turns in spreading out their coats like bats so the other could take a photograph of the information boards. We followed them for a while, but then they disappeared into the night... day. But free to get in, or just hop on the 32 or 320 from the central bus station (leaves at quarter past every hour) for if you're not inclined to own a car or didn't want to learn after hitting a sheep on your first lesson. A top notch day out. Oh, and when the fountain outside the castle was reconstructed, one of the piece was put back upside down, can you spot it?

Another important cultural landmark to be visited which is located on the outskirts of Cardiff, this one is at St. Fagans and this Saturday I visited it for the third time. I still want to go back as I know I still missed out things that I wanted to see. If you want to make the most of this attraction then I suggest you get up early in the morning and get there as soon as you can. There is no entry fee and car parking is only £3 for the day, you really will need the whole day as this is like visiting a whole village. The village is home to various historic buildings from many different time periods. These have been carefully reconstructed to preserve the original look and feel of that period. Towards the centre of the village will find shops and the Gwalia tea rooms where you can stop off for a spot of afternoon tea. As you walk up towards the tea room you will pass the bakery where I was gripped by the smell of freshly baked goods, most likely baked using flour from the on-site, working flour mill. This is not just a place to come and see old houses and barns, this is very much a living museum, everywhere you look you will see people that are busy making and doing things. There are also people on hand to provide you with further information and answer questions you might have about the area you are viewing. There is so much to see and do here that it is unlikely you will see everything you need to in just one day. I would recommend taking a trip mid-week when it is a little quieter so you can really take in the history of the buildings then visiting again on the weekend to see how everything really comes to life. I have to visit again as I still haven't made my way to visit the castle gardens as I get all caught up in all the other stuff there is to see. The biggest problem I have is that every time I visit there is something new so I would recommend paying a visit to the visitor centre before hand and getting yourself a map so you can really grasp how much there is there. This is the kind of place that both children and adults love so if you do decide to visit why not take the whole family. Who knows, maybe I'll see you there as I for one, am definitely going again.

St Fagans is a big part of everyone I know's growing up purely because if you live in the area you must have been on about a million school trips here! It's in the grounds of St Fagans Castle which was erected in the 15th century as a donation from the Earl of Plymouth. It's got various buildings depicting various periods of Welsh history, some of which have been taken down from their original locations and authentically re-built brick by brick. My favourite part of the museum is a collection of six terraced houses. They are authentically decorated - both inside and out to accurately depict a typical Welsh house between the years of 1805 to 1985. It's amazing to see how someone would have lived and how things have changed through the ages. Apart from the various historic buildings, they have a collection of activities and shops. They are decorated in an olde-worlde style and sell all sorts of foods and drinks traditional to Wales. When we were here we tried our hands at pottery making (which is harder than it looks!) which was only a couple of pounds. We also had a black and white photo taken where they dress you up as someone from the 1800s. I was supposed to be an old-style businessman complete with top hat and cane but I just came out looking like Willy Wonka. And that was £30! If you're visiting Wales or are a local, St Fagans is genuinely a good day out. I'm not the museum type but they make an effort to engage everyone and have something to entertain everyone too. Much recommended.

Anyone who went to school in South Wales has probably been on at least one school history to St Fagan's. I personally went on four and had to write a GSCE History module on the miner's cottages through the years. As such I was put off going back for a fair while until I was reminded how good the bread from the onsite bakery is. You can spend a lot of time looking around the building's and all that but I prefer to just go and enjoy a walk over to the castle and around the grounds. I would say that the information could maybe be presented in a more exciting way, but when they have people there dressed as characters its brilliant. It would be a great place to take kids too as it has a fun play park and you they can have a go at painting their own pottery as well learning about all the history stuff. The Cafe is lovely too and the Christmas events they have are defiantly worth a visit. Its really just a nice day out, oh and did I mention its FREE to get in! All you need to pay is the £3 parking, bargain.

On one of the first sunny days of the year, my lovely said she was going to educate me in Welsh culture. So she took me here. Despite a load of kids littering the place I really loved the trip. It's free to get in, but we decided to have lunch there to support the cause and all. the food there was lovely, I had spicy chicken in pitta bread with fries and was very well done for a cafe. The staff there were lovely as well, infact this was true throughout all the day. There's plenty to see as everything has been discovered elsewhere and painstakingly rebuilt brick by brick here. History goes as far back as the mud houses from the Celtic times. One of my faves was the houses through time part. Dating way back, to what a modern day Welsh house was utterly fascinating to me. There's so much to talk about here that all I really can say is that if you want to take in the culture properly on your visit you will learn o much through this and will be entertained throughly.

Our yearly school trips made me sick of the place eventually, but now I value the place a lot more. In school we only really visited the medieval village, but there is so much more that you can do there... It's a cross between Narnia; with its forestry woods, tall, black lanterns, and old fashioned cottages, and Harry Potters Hogesmead village. The best year there was in year five when we all had to go to the Victorian school, where we had to dress up and be taught how they were. We got a photograph at the end of it all. They did not know about Dyslexia in them days, so the head teacher would have cained them just for bad handwriting! Am glad I didn't live in them days after all. They do theatre plays in the evenings, and they have a photographer based on sight to take a picture of you in a proper ball gown Victorian/medieval dress or outfit, you have to pay £30 for it, but it is worth it. Doctor Who has also filmed there. I recommend the tasty bread shop. You can also visit an old medieval/Victorian house.

This is the second oldest open air museums in the world. The front of the guide says it best: A walk around Wales-from Celtic times to the present day. This is a great place to take the kids because they have a little of everything. I loved watching the sheep eat. But there is so much more. Plus the weather was beautiful! Cool, crisp air. Just the way I like it.

Go when the weather's good to get the most out of this place. If you go for the full day, do know that there's a small cafe with hot food in the castle, while everywhere else, also labeled cafes, only serves bread and cookies. If you want to get something from the food market, do buy the meat early. We wanted to get the lamb but when we went back for it before it closed, it was all sold out.

We just had a lovely day out here its free to enter you just pay £3 for parking There is a big play ground with two separate areas for older and younger children at the begining with places to sit and eat Then there is a walk around the area passing all the different houses, cottages and shops that have been brought in from other welsh places There are infomation boards outside all the houses telling you where they came from and what they were used for There is a village square with working shops and busineses and horse and cart rides Further on there is a farm with a tractor train and a few animals its not the best bit realy Back at the begining there is a gift shop and cafe both are quite expensive but only what you would expect in a place like this and an inside museum and art gallery All the staff seem to speak welsh to each other which is a nice touch and they are very helpful Plan a whole day for your visit as there is so much to see and do and also find out if there is anything happening on the day you go it was a festival of bees!! when we went A good day out for everyone

St Fagans is one of Europe's leading open-air museums and Wales's most popular historical attraction. The museum is located in the grounds of St Fagans Castle, a late 16th-century manor house. Besides the castle itself, the museum features a large number of other historical buildings dating back to Celtic times, such as houses, a school, a chapel and a farm. There is also a "war-time" general store selling various timely items from home-made jams and pickles to sugar-mice and fudge. There is also an old-fashioned sweet shop where you can unusual items such as sugar barley, in addition to a bakery that sells freshly-baked bread and cakes. Spanning over 100 acres, St Fagans is surrounded by beautiful woodland. There are a number of nature points along the walk around the grounds, where you can explore the local wildlife. You can also visit the livestock at the farm which includes native breeds of pigs, sheep and bulls. The picturesque gardens around the castle provide the perfect backdrop for a relaxed summer afternoon, whilst the large wooden play area offers entertainment for younger visitors. This also gives parents a chance to grab a cuppa and a bite to eat from the nearby cafeteria, while the kids are kept busy in the play area. While it's free to get into St Fagans, in order to exit the museum you have to walk through an extensive gift-shop, which will usually leave you reaching into your pocket to purchase some form of item, be it a hand-crafted wooden love spoon for a loved one, or a cuddly farmyard animals for the kids. St Fagins is easily accessible from the M4 and with so much to do and see, free admission and only £3 per car per day, it's a great day out for all the family.

St Fagans is a really interesting place to visit even if you're someone like me who's not very clued up on Welsh history. I visited a few summers ago with some university friends and was really impressed by the size of the place. It wasn't an event day so we just had a wander around and a look at everything, but even so there was loads there to take in. The indoor museum section is interesting and informative (I remember the agriculture bit here being good), and once you've made your way through it you're outside again and wandering around an open-air museum complete with woodlands, a very life-like village and a stunning manor house. There are information boards dotted about the place telling you what's what and the staff were very friendly and helpful. I was here in early summer and the beautiful weather was the icing on the cake of this amazing place. The woodlands are long and rambling and dotted with little stone houses and suchlike. The village has a fully operational wollen mill and a bakery and sweet shop, and there are even real farmyard animals that would delight young children. However my favourite part was the 'Castle and Gardens' area. The grounds around the manor house were impeccably maintained - the place looked so neat and colourful I felt like I was on a film set. You can go in the house too, a great Elizabethan monster with properly restored rooms and furnishings everywhere, and even staff in period dress to explain things to you. If you're at all interested in history then you'll love this place, I was blown away by just how much was on show here. The whole museum is so vast and well cared for that I think it'd be very difficult not to be impressed with it, and although I wasn't there for an event day I reckon these would be great fun as well, especially if you're visiting with children.

Love this place! I've been twice over the years. The staff is friendly and helpful. The grounds are well tended and beautiful. Go on a day when the weather is good if you have the option. It is a great day to spend walking around outside. It's open and kid friendly. Lots of space to run around. There are buildings from various eras throughout Welsh history and there is a staff member in each one who is available to discuss their knowledge. I'm not sure how many of the staff are volunteers and how many are paid employees, but I know I met several volunteers and all the staff seemed to be doing it for the love of sharing history. My sister must have talked to the school teacher for close to an hour! He provided a wealth of information. I didn't see much food there.. which was fine for us, we didn't come for the food. We did get some tasty Welsh cakes though. But there were places to get water and nice restroom facilities. There was no cost, but donations are welcome.

This is a wonderful place and the best thing is that it's free to enter, although the carpark costs £4 for the car. There's a castle to the right past a dovecote and walled gardens and to the left is a path that leads to the museum of Welsh history. It was lovely to walk around and see all the little miners cottages and 70's prefabs which had been rebuilt here. As you walk around there are lots of staff on hand to help and give advice. We went into a quaint little shop that sold old fashioned sweets and then onto a little carnival and penny arcade. All this is surrounded by little allotments and gardens.

There is so much to say about the Museum of Welsh life AKA The Folk Museum and I am probably going to leave a ton of stuff out, but here goes! Whenever we have visitors to Cardiff this is usually our first port of call, there's just so much to see and do! As the name suggests this museum focuses on the development of Welsh life over the ages, and consists of original buildings relocated from different parts of Wales, in 100-acre parkland. My particular favourites are the village school, the traditional bakery and sweetshop (I'd particularly recommend the glowsticks), the Rhyd-y-car cottages, which show how homes developed over the centuries, and so much more. The folk museum is definitely a child friendly visitor destination. Kids particularly seem to enjoy the Celtic village (very authentic smells), pottery making, and going for a horse and cart ride around the park. The Museum also holds a number of events throughout the year, my particular favorites being the May fair (with maypole dancing), the harvest festival, and the Christmas celebrations. In addition, during the summer months, the museum plays host to the Everyman theatre summer festival.

St Fagans, just outside Cardiff, is a really fascinating, open-air museum that captures the imagination in a way most museums don't. Historical buildings from across Wales have been rebuilt in the 100-acre museum grounds, and living craftspeople demonstrate traditional skills in the workshops dotted about. The main attraction is the collection of over 40 original buildings from different periods of history and various parts of Wales. One of my favourite parts is the street of tiny terraced ironworkers' houses from Merthyr Tydfil, each one revealing the style of a different decades, including furniture and various household objects, spanning the 19th century. Then there's a farmhouse from Gower with bright red walls that were believed to protect against bad spirits, and St Teilo's Church, which was originally built in stages between 1100-1520 and then moved to the museum - stone by stone. There's also a Celtic village with circular houses containing the everyday utensils of the Iron Age Celts. All the buildings are fascinating and really bring history alive, making it a great day out for both children and adults. The other big part of the museum is seeing traditional craftspeople at work. You can watch traditional farming techniques being used in the fields and farmyards, a blacksmith at work making decorative forgework, a working wool mill and corn mill, a saddler's workshop, and a potter making hand-made pots. There's also the Derwen Bake House where you can buy cakes and bread, the traditional Gwalia Stores selling Welsh foods, and a 1920s style tea room. The grounds of the museum are lovely, too - ideal for a summer picnic or a wander around the woodlands, and if you have time there is also the castle (really an Elizabethan manor house) and gardens to explore.

There are far worse places to spend an afternoon wandering around, and as such a vast place there are plenty of afternoon worths of wandering to be had. For rainy afternoons there is an indoor museum with all sorts of little gizmos, gadgets, bits and bobs to look at and marvel at their use (really, even in 'olden days' why would any carry a creepy moles claw around with them?). There are plenty of cabinets with stuff in, like museums should be, not all these new fangled computer screens in an attempt to recreate the museum as documetary! If it is fine there are two main elements to St Fagans: the outdoor museum and the house and grounds. The outdoor museum is lovely, and covers a wide historical span - in fact my favourite bits were probably the Celtic village, with appropriately dressed attendants, thatched round houses and, well, an appropriate amount of mud, and the chronologically ordered row of terraced houses taking us up to the eighties including photos of people in shell suits and some pretty bad furniture. Not sure how I feel about the 80s being history however, as I do remember most of it! There are a few good places for a welsh cake and a cup of tea as well, but smoking is banned throughout the whole site, which is a bit of a pain as it is all outside (I can understand in the 'exibits' but in a field?) The grounds and house also make a pleasant, less educational but possibly more romantic place to spend a few hours, meandering along the paths, beside the lake and pondering what it would be like to live in such opulence. I'd say more than a museum!

This is a really interesting and different museum experience. It's basically a Victorian Welsh village that's been restored and is maintained as a place to wander about and learn some stuff to pop inside your mind. I have really fond memories of my youth walking around this museum with family or on school trips. It is a favourite with schools in the local area, so if you don't want that kind of rush then maybe best to go on a weekend or during school holidays, or phone ahead and find out what their plans are for the day. There's simply so much to see and do there that it would be impossible to sum it all up in a measly review. They also host lots of events there, particularly around Christmas, so check out their website for details on yuletide loveliness. One thing you have to do is get a freshly baked loaf of bread from the traditional bakers before you leave; this is something I cannot possibly leave without doing.

One of my favourite museums in Cardiff, particularly since it became free to visit. I remember going there when I was quite a small child but I couldn't get past the strange name and it seemed it took a whole day to get there on Cardiff Bus in 1970. But I went with some friends a couple of years ago and was really impressed. The size of the place is unsettling, it's huge. There's lots of areas to visit and lots to do. The historic re-created village buildings which are worth a trip itself, especially the shop and the bakers house. You can buy bread baked on site which is great and the kids can buy old fashioned sweets and confectionery. Seeing the animals or looking round the house. I don't think you can comfortably cover everything in one day particularly with small children. Just walking round the grounds from area to area can take quite a while.

Wow, I should probably have known about this place before. An open-air museum with a kick, this really is an impressive and often surprising place. When I think back to school and the types of class trip that we endured, I do get a little bit confused. We went to one museum (the Curtis Museum in Alton if you must know) that was just cabinets full of things found around the local area. Most of the items (artifacts if you're being kind) were things like dolls and bits of pan. Yawn. I'm pretty bored right now, just thinking about it. Why on earth send kids to a place like this? St Fagan's though is like the Disneyland of Museums. A living, breathing experience awaits all those excitable kids and it is one they're bound to remember for a great deal of time. The opportunity to watch a blacksmith at work, explore a corn mill and admire the castle will not be lost on children. It's a grand, impressive place and one you should visit forthwith.

This is a one-roomed cottage, typical of the Snowdonia region. It dates from the middle of the eighteenth century. The date 1762 itself is on the fire-place beam. The garden and dry stone walls follow the traditional layout. It was the home of a slate quarryman in Rhostryfan in North Wales. It is furnished in the style of about 1880 which was the golden age of the North Wales slate quarries when quarryman Hugh Williams and family lived there. His family was very big. The oldest girl looked after the younger children, the grandparents lived in the house as well. The life expectancy was forty five years. Llainfadyn has been rebuilt in 1962. There are two explanations for the translation of Llainfadyn into English, one is that Llainfadyn is a person's name, second, llain in Welsh means a piece of ground and fadyn means a female fox, so that llainfadyn would be a foxgrove.

I spent many school trips trotting around St Fagan's, but it was only when I reach adulthood that I realised what an amazing insight it gives into the social history of Wales. Go along, you'll have a great day out and the entry is free.

A good way to pass a day, with free admission (you just pay for car parking) there's lots to see here. The open air museum in 100-acre park is in the grounds of St Fagans Castle, a late 16th-century manor house donated to the people of Wales by the Earl of Plymouth. Over 40 original buildings from different historical periods have been re-erected - these include houses, a farm, a school, a chapel and a Workmen's Institute. There are also workshops where craftsmen demonstrate their traditional skills. There are traditional farm animals and framing tasks are carried out daily. Wear comfortable shoes as you will walk miles aroun it. It is a bit of a trtek up to hill to the start depending on how full the car park is.

The St Fagans National History Museum (known as St Fagans) is totally the best place to bring your visitors of all ages. Take the little ones to the farm where they can see the giant pig and other creatures. Also a really good playground near the main building. Take your elderly visitors to the Castle where they can enjoy the gardens and the historic-ness. Take everyone to all the amazing buildings that they've dismantled stone by stone and moved onto the site. Many good new things over by the Working Man's Club. My friend has a parking season ticket and just pops in when the weather's nice to have a walk around the place. Fantastic now it's free as when we had to pay we felt obliged to see the whole site in a day and really there's too much for just one day.

Easily accessible from the city centre by car or bus, the St Fagan's museum is an absolutely wonderful way to get out of the city for some fresh air and a taste of what Wales used to be like in the good ole days. I took a friend here in spring when we were both counting the pennies, and we found that for under a tenner we could get two return tickets and have a hot drink each to help us restore our energy after all the excitement. My highlight of St Fagans has always been the mud huts. There's something so magical about curling up by the open fire on a colder day, and listening to the informed guide teach young wanna-be tribesmen all about swords. There are also a variety of more substantial and modern buildings, from chapel to schoolhouse. The development of Wales through the twentieth century is also brought to life through a terrace where the houses are decorated to echo the sequence of decades. There are plenty of ways to get interactive, whether it be through acting out life in 1927 to trying your hand at throwing a pot. (not so) URBAN CHALLENGE: Make a paper boat and float it down the stream (just be sure to catch it)

I once had a god awful experience here! It was a cold, dark afternoon, the clouds rumbled angrily.... i'll get to the point is it? On an annual school trip to St Fagon's, in one of the wee little shops that take you way back in time, we were being lectured on how lucky we were not to have to brush our teeth with pig hair when my friend fainted. She'd previously been complaining of the warmth, i think it had something to do with the four hundred layers her mother had wrapped her in. Anyway, she was rushed to the picnic area where, her, the worst teacher in the world and myself were forced to sit making her sip water. I ate my packed lunch in one swift bite and was left feeling pretty hard done by. Anyway, lets get to the museum itself. Free to enter St Fagon's really is a little Welsh treasure, especially at Christmas. They do a carol service and the place is all lit up and it really is beautifully festive. All era's have been carefully constructed to perfection and you really will feel like you've stepped back in time. Be warned, you will need a hell of a lot of time to explore this mystical tardis... it really is never ending. Plus there's a gift shop and for those of you who've read my past reviews you'll know i bloody love a gift shop! Good for adults and children alike a really worthy day out!

St Fagans is a fantastic free day out where you only pay for car parking which I think is around £3. It is an open air museum but does have some indoor sections. There are plenty of picnic areas to bring your own food or there is a cafe. There is also a play ground for children. A must see is the horse and cart beautiful!

St Fagans is a great day out. It is free. Its a Welsh national history museum. It features homes and traditions from Celtic times to the present day. There is houses, a farm, a school, a chapel and a Workmen's Institute. There is workshops to where craftsmen still demonstrate their traditional skills.

St fagans is an open air museum and a very popular heritage museum. There are a number of different buildings such as a farm, workhouse, school and a chapel as well as a workmens institue. There are akso workshops where craftsmen still demonstrate their traditional skills. They also sell what they make.

Fantastic day out, and the hot scones are a must!

This open air museum is a great place to visit and I have spent many a great day there with the kids in the summer holidays. Free to get in, make sure you buy some freshly baked bread from the bakery and maybe a gingerbread teddy ot two?
