Step back in time at Pen-ffynnon home of the West Wales Museum of Childhood.

The West Wales Museum of Childhood is a museum in Wales which opened in 2005, by Paul & Hilary Kennelly, which now forms a major educational resource in South and West Wales.

The Museum of Childhood is located in Llangeler, near to the historic town of Newcastle Emlyn alongside the A484, the main Carmarthen to Cardigan road, which runs along the scenic River Teifi river valley.

From Wikipedia & Toy Museum Wales websites:
"There are more than 10,000 items on display in the five galleries of the museum, some of which may be viewed on the Museum’s official website. Exhibits include toys, dolls, model trains, model cars, teddy bears, toy soldiers, tin toys, costumes, pinball machines, games, a period schoolroom, and household items. There are many toys and collectible items related to movies and television shows, including Doctor Who, Batman, The Avengers and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.

The whole of the museum complex complies with high standards of accessibility. The museum has also been awarded accreditation under VisitWales VAQAS -the Welsh Assembly Government’s Visitor Attraction Quality Accreditation Scheme.

The museum is a privately run enterprise and receives no outside funding. It is dependent upon attracting tourists as well as students and study groups in order to be viable and available as a community and educational resource." Text Source: (visit link) & (visit link)
