St Fagans

We had friends Karen and ray visit from Liverpool over the weekend. So we did the good host thing and took them to a few local tourist spots. It’s a shame that it takes visitors from away to make me go to some of the great places in the area. Staurday was St Fagans and Sunday was Big Pit.

They are both part of the National Museum of Wales, both free and both wonderful days out.

St Fagans is a natural history museum, and used to be called the museum of Welsh life. It has recreated houses and other buildings from all geographical and chronological parts of Wales. The row of Rhydycar cottages show life through the ages, and I recognised many items from visits to my grandparents when I was growing up.
