Royal Welsh Museum

“Great museum, but slightly light on Anglo-Zulu War history ​Had a really good experience visiting the Royal Welsh Regiment Museum. To be honest, I was primarily lured in by the chance to see the Anglo-Zulu War history, especially given the regiment's famous connection to it. While they do have some fascinating pieces on display, I felt it didn’t dive as deeply into the overall history and context of that specific war as I had hoped. ​That being said, the museum as a whole is excellent, well-laid out, and packed with interesting military artifacts spanning a much broader timeline. Definitely worth a visit, just manage your expectations if you are going solely for the Zulu War exhibits!”

“A small place ,3 rooms, but full of regimental artifacts. Particularly interested in the Roakes Drift room , as one of the VC recievers lived just down the road from me in Cwmbran. Good disabled access. You can park behind Morrisons check out the town . It's a 10min walk from the centre.”

“We were advised about this museum by a friend and so glad we took the advice to visit. David who was in duty really looked after us and we felt so welcome and encouraged to learn about the rich history of this military unit. We were treated to a movie about their campaign in South Africa and the museum features many Honours and Awards recipients and the explanation of how they earnt their awards. A great way to learn about their military history and ably assisted by the Veterans who have served their country.”
