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 you're 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 just popping in for a bite to eat
at our Tea Rooms we're sure you'll find exactly what you're after here
with us.
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 including puppet
theatre, pottery and glassworks are a great way to spend the afternoon
on a school trip. For more information please give us a call.
