About 4 miles south-east of the Newcastle Emlyn is the picturesque village of Drefach Felindre. It was once the centre of a thriving woollen industry, which earned it the name of ‘The Huddersfield of Wales’. Although there’s little left of the industry here now, the National Wool Museum, located in the former Cambrian Mills, will give you a fascinating insight into what life was like when fleeces sheared by local farmers were woven into fabric before being made into shirts, shawls, blankets and socks. Visitors young and old can have a bash at carding, spinning and sewing and the museum’s friendly staff are on hand to answer any questions and give demonstrations.
