Gower Heritage Centre

A demonstration of renewable energy use past and present.

Gower Heritage Centre is a countryside crafts centre and museum of rural life with a fully operational 12th century water powered corn and saw mill, a collection of antique farming and cultivation equipment, and a working woollen mill.

There is a small apple orchard and the Centre holds an annual apple and cider weekend when a 150 year old mobile cider press is put to use. The site also includes indoor teaching areas, toilets, outdoor and indoor displays, a shop and tearooms, picnic areas, a play area and a small farm animal and pet area.
