A weekend in Wales with older parents

2 days For older parents & grandparents Built from visitor-rated places

♥ Save as my trip

This is a slow, two-museum weekend built around sitting down as much as standing up. Saturday is deliberately light: one stop only, Amgueddfa Sir Gâr – Carmarthenshire Museum, with the rest of the day left free for a long lunch and a proper cup of tea. Sunday pairs The House on Crutches Museum with the Town Hall museum, and the two sit just 5.2 miles apart — barely ten minutes in the car, with no need to rush between them.

The honest bit: 69.1 miles separate Saturday's museum from Sunday's first, so pick your base with care and split that drive. The Old Dairy House in Tenby sleeps 5 and stands 0.1 miles from Tenby station, which is about as easy as arrivals get; Ty Bledrws sleeps 10 for a bigger family gathering. Coming by train, Garth (Powys) is the nearest station to Wales.

Day 1

One stop, all day: Amgueddfa Sir Gâr – Carmarthenshire Museum in the morning, then nothing else in the diary, so nobody is clock-watching. Bear in mind the 69.1 miles to tomorrow's first museum — if legs are tired, drive part of it this afternoon rather than all of it before breakfast.

Day 2

Start with The House on Crutches Museum, then it's only 5.2 miles to the Town Hall museum — ten minutes or so, short enough that you can take a break between the two without losing the afternoon. Two small museums in a day is plenty; leave time to sit.
