A
Little About Us...
Set in the heart
of the Gower Peninsula just west of Swansea, South Wales, the Gower
Heritage Centre was established in 1990 as a countryside crafts centre
situated in historical and beautiful surroundings. The 12th century
water powered corn and saw mill was renovated, and experienced crafts
people took up residence on site. Today the centre is recognised as
a vibrant crafts and rural life museum that welcomes visitors from all
around the world.
The Gower Heritage
Centre is a fun way to spend your day, whether your group or school
and would like to take a coach tour to the Gower and explore what we
have on offer, or if you're just passing by and are popping in for a
bite to eat at our Tea Rooms we're sure you'll find exactly what you're
after.
We are only a 15-minute
walk from one of the most breath taking bays in the Gower; Three Cliffs
Bay. The whole peninsula is a designated Area of Outstanding Natural
Beauty and has its own very distinctive culture that owes a lot to the
mix of Welsh, West Country and Norman ancestry.
If your interest
lies in rural Gower and the history of agriculture then we have a wide
selection of displays for you, from our fully operational Water mill
to the outdoor Museum of antique farming and cultivation. We are open
throughout the year with a daily timetable of guided tours and demonstrations
and an annual programme of special events. Our craft workshops include
puppet making, pottery and woollen mill crafts are a great way to spend
the afternoon on a school trip. For more information please give us
a call.
