Description
One of Europe's biggest and most exciting open-air museums. Here you will find centuries of Welsh social history gathered together in 100 acres of beautiful countryside. Enjoy over forty buildings that have been transported and rebuilt to recreate 500 years of Wales's history, and its journey from rural tradition to industrial powerhouse.
