National Wool Museum

“This place is a living museum. Turning the clock back over 150 years or more .Old machines restored to full working order .making beautifully designed woolen cloth .fascinating to watch these old skills coming back to life. And it's FREE TO ENTER THEY ASK IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO DONATE. BUT NO PRESSURE. A GREAT PLACE not to be missed we loved it . Lots of staff on ga d to get you carding tge wool and having a go at spinning it . Great fun and educational for the whole family. Ladies were spinning the wool into thread it was fascinating to watch. The lovely Janet made a most amazing jumper about Liverpool with all the song titles on it worth going just to see that a d shes 91 still making these patterns up as she goes.”

“An outstanding museum. I was stuck by how friendly and informative the staff, who were all bilingual which really helped as a Welsh learner. The curator even helped identify my own Welsh blanket from a photograph. From start to finish all staff were outstanding, even at the very end when happened upon the natural dye garden on my way back to the car. I had a wonderful lesson on the colours and techniques from their resident gardener. Food was great too, a proper fresh salad with local produce.”

“Loved the visit to the wool museum. Staff were incredibly friendly & knowledgeable. I definitely would have been happy to stay for longer. Went with my husband and inlaws & we all agreed it was excellent. We didn't stop for a tea or coffee but it has a lovely cafe & the cakes did look very delicious! Coming from NZ I also enjoyed hearing people speaking fluent Welsh which I had not heard before even though I've been here many times.”
