- The Features -
As OLD MILL FARMHOUSE was once the home of the village corn miller, a feature water wheel was a ‘must’. The water for the mill was carried along a canal which travelled through the main field, then under the road to the mill. The canal has now gone and, sadly, so has the mill but we have brought back a little atmosphere of bygone days with a working water wheel situated on the bank, overlooking the courtyard.
Since we live on the famous Welsh gold belt, we have acquired one of the old Hudson tipper wagons that hauled the gold bearing ore from the nearby Gwynfynydd gold mine. A kilo of this rare, high quality gold was presented to the Queen on her 60th birthday.
Many of our visitors are
railway enthusiasts. We have a model garden railway (G scale) based
on the Denver and Rio Grand, with a magnificent American trestle 3'
high and 42' long. The trains are now running and we are ready to
begin work on the scenery and landscaping. Enthusiasts with a loco
of their own are very welcome to bring them.
