3 days in Wales with the dog

Three unhurried days, six small museums and a dog who'll be convinced the whole thing was arranged for him. You begin in the green folds of Ceredigion at Lampeter Museum, drift out to Llanerchaeron Museum for the afternoon, then head north-east into Powys for the Clive Museum and the Powysland Museum — a pairing that rewards a slow morning and an even slower afternoon.

Day three keeps the nicest rhythm of the lot: Abbey Cwmhir Museum while everything is still hushed, lunch at the Lion Hotel, then CARAD Rhayader Museum and Gallery to round things off. Between stops there are lanes to stretch legs along and plenty of excuses for a boot-of-the-car water break. Ring ahead where you can about bringing the dog, keep a towel handy, and let Wales set the pace.

Day 1

An easy Ceredigion start — give Lampeter Museum the quiet end of the morning, then take the lanes out to Llanerchaeron Museum for a leisurely afternoon, with a proper walk and a water break in between.

Day 2

A gentle two-stop day that suits a slower breakfast: the Clive Museum first while you're fresh, then on to the Powysland Museum, leaving room to stretch four legs and two along the way.

Day 3

Begin at Abbey Cwmhir Museum while it's peaceful, break for lunch at the Lion Hotel, then finish softly at CARAD Rhayader Museum and Gallery with a well-walked, happily tired dog.
