Formerly was the popular 'Dil Jeera' Indian restaurant. Its recently been taken over by family members, and so far the reviews for it seem to be great. Serves good quality (if a little more pricey) Indian food, and its just around the corner from the house!

Arts & Culture

One of my favourite places to visit! Large outdoor museum with rescued historical buildings from across Wales - includes a working farm, miners cottages, several churches, Victorian schoolhouse, 1940s village with shops, cafe and bakery, blacksmiths and Celtic village. Lots of picnic areas and an indoor museum area too for rainy days.
