At Cenarth Mill in Cenarth, the National Coracle Centre explores the small, traditional boats once used by local fishers and still occasionally seen on the river. Its collection includes coracles from around the world, with stories and explanations that bring their different forms and uses to life. You can also see displays about village life and visit the restored water-driven mill. Cenarth Falls is beside the centre, so you can pair the museum with a walk by the water.
Coracles from Wales and beyond
The centre’s collection brings together traditional coracles from around the world. Displays, photographs and stories explain the different vessels and their uses. Coracles are small boats with a long connection to Wales; local fishers can still occasionally be seen using them on the river.
The mill and village displays
The visit also includes a restored water-driven mill and displays about village life through the years. The centre stands beside Cenarth Falls, making it easy to include the waterfall in the same stop. Talks about coracles and demonstrations of how they were used have been part of visits; ask what is available on the day.
