It may surprise you to know that wool was historically the most important and widespread of Wales's industries. Along with providing the surrounding countryside--and the world--with shirts, blankets, woolen stockings, and socks, the region also produced some magnificent quilts.The Textile Trail covers a group of attractions--all within an hour's drive of each other--that follow the history of these vibrant West Wales industries. Why not spend a weekend visiting the three locations responsible for recording the main events of the Welsh textile industry?
- The Welsh Quilt Centre in Lampeter
- The National Woollen Museum of Wales in Drefach Felindre, near Newcastle Emlyn
- The Ceredigion Museum (in Aberystwyth)
