National Wool Museum

The Cambrian Mills factory, world famous for its high-quality woollen products, closed in 1984 and this interesting museum has taken its place. Former mill workers are often around to get the remaining machines clickety-clacking, but there's also a working commercial mill next door where you can watch operations, and a shop selling snug woollen blankets. Pre-booking tickets online was essential at the time of research. It's off the A484 four miles east of Newcastle Emlyn.
