Radnorshire Museum
About This Museum
Tucked away in the charming spa town of Llandrindod Wells, the Radnorshire Museum feels like a delightful secret waiting to be uncovered. It all started back in the early 1900s when local antiquarians began gathering treasures from the surrounding countryside, preserving the unique character of this part of mid-Wales. Stepping inside, you're immediately struck by a wonderfully calm and slightly old-fashioned atmosphere; it’s a place that encourages you to take your time and really look. The collections are deeply personal to the area, telling the intimate stories of the land and its people rather than grand national narratives.
Collection Highlights
Don't miss the stunning Llanwrthwl Gold Torc, a beautiful Bronze Age neck ring discovered locally, and the fascinating 'Radnorshire Wells' exhibit that explains the county's history as a spa destination. The folk life galleries are equally compelling, filled with everyday objects that paint a vivid picture of rural life.
Visitor Information
You'll find it easily on Temple Street – it's that handsome stone building that just looks important. It's wonderfully accessible and has a lovely, small-town feel where the staff are genuinely passionate about sharing their local history.
Architecture & Building
Housed in a fine example of an Edwardian municipal building, it features dignified stonework and a sense of solid, civic pride that perfectly suits its role as a keeper of county memories.
