Family days out at Llanerchaeron

May Half Term at Llanerchaeron

26 May - 1 June (10am - 4pm)

There's always something to do for families at Llanerchaeron and this May half term is no exception. Follow the trail around the garden to see where Ceri the fox's friends have been hiding. Whizz around on a balance bike, have a go at the truf maze, play in the Stables and see what animals you can find on the farmyard. 

Explore the Villa

In the Georgian villa (house) there’s lots to discover about the Lewes family who lived at Llanerchaeron. Don’t forget to explore the service courtyard including dairy, bakehouse and smoke-house.  You might even come across one of our famous Llanerchaeron cats, Eira is often seen around the house and Tomos in the garden or farmyard. 

Farmyard & Geler Jones Collection

Visit the traditional farmyard, discover the different buildings and see some of our resident animals. You may come across pigs, calves, poultry or our Welsh ponies. 

At the far end of the farmyard you'll find the Geler Jones Collection, a display of traditional rural machinery, both agricultural and domestic, including vintage tractors and a steam roller. 

Old Stables play room

Take some time in the old Stables playroom to challenge your family to a game of ping pong or table football, or take a moment to relax colouring in or playing dominoes. 

Garden and lake

Take in the seasons in the Walled Garden and discover what they have growing when you visit, you can also pick up a seasonal tree trail. 

Immerse yourself in nature and enjoy the beauty of the gardens, lake and woodland walks. The grounds within Llanerchaeron provide ample opportunities to explore accessible, level paths. A short, circular lake walk, around the stables and farmyard, to the house and the walled garden is accessible by wheelchair or pushchair. The Please Grounds and lake offer welcome shade with benches to rest on, and the chance to enjoy some wildlife spotting.
