For those looking for culture around our Welsh Holiday Cottages there are museums, arts centres and libraries conveniently located around Carmarthenshire, Ceredigion and Pembrokeshire.

Housed in a restored Edwardian theatre, the Ceredegion Museum in Aberystwyth has been described as ‘one of the most beautiful museum interiors in Britain’.

Situated nearby at Cenarth, The National Coracle Centre will show you how people did and still do cross the river Teifi. The National Woollen Museum is well worth a visit and at Caws Cenarth you can find out all about making cheese.

The Museum of Childhood in neighbouring Saron offers a nostalgic trip down memory lane and there are mysterious gold mines and romantic castle ruins to explore and wonder at.

There are plenty of independent galleries in the area with arts centres in Aberystwyth and Cardigan.
