Here Twm our 'talking sheepdog' will take you on a fascinating journey back in time to when Shire horses reigned supreme at 'Dan-yr-Ogof Farm'. Meet Dai our blacksmith and visit Tommy Morgan in his Victorian kitchen. See our magnificent shire horses, and the farm wagons they still pull around the farm. The other farm animals are never far away! Make friends with our Shetlands, donkeys, Welsh cobs, Alpacas, cows, goats, pigs, ducks and geese! Finally meet sleepy young Megan in the farm shop, and learn about her duties all those years ago.Replica of an Iron Age Farm
Children can learn about life in the Iron Age at our re-created Iron Age farm. Life size models of the people and animals give you a very realistic idea of how these farmers lived, during those times. This exhibit is based on archaeological evidence.
