Set in the heart of the Gower Peninsula, the Heritage Centre was established in 1990 as a countryside crafts centre situated in historical and beautiful surroundings. The 12th century water-powered corn and sawmill 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, with old fashioned games arcade, sandpit area, play areas and an animal farm for the kids. It is home to 'La Charrette', Wales' smallest cinema.
If your interest lies in rural Gower and the history of agriculture, then there is a wide selection of displays, from the fully operational watermill to the outdoor museum of antique farming and cultivation. There is a daily timetable of guided tours and demonstrations and a programme of special events.
Only a 15-minute walk from Three Cliffs Bay, one of the most breath taking bays in the Gower. 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.
