Time to Explore Tregwynt Woollen Mill
Traditional Welsh wool like no other
Nestled away in an area of rural woodland near Castlemorris, just a short drive from the sandy bay at Abermawr, you will find one of Pembrokeshire’s most popular attractions. Just one visit to this idyllic countryside location and we guarantee, Melin Tregwynt will capture your heart.
Abermawr Beach
Since the 1700s, there has been a working mill at Tregwynt though things have changed somewhat over the centuries. Traditionally, the wool used was brought in by local Pembrokeshire sheep farmers and handlooms powered by a water wheel were used. Nowadays, modern rapier looms have replaced the old and the water wheel is no longer used, it has since been restored and still holds a place in the mill for visitors to see.
Take a self-guided tour through the mill past the water wheel and through the workshop, where you’ll even see the looms in action if you call in during the working week. The tour continues to a small video room where you can learn even more about the process via video presentations and information boards.
Alongside the white-washed stone building which houses the mill, you’ll find a bustling cafe and charming shop. Pair your visit to the mill with a spot of lunch or a cup of tea and a slice (or rather a slab!) of delicious homemade cake. On a sunny day, you’ll no doubt want to take a seat at one of the outdoor picnic tables or undercover wooden huts.
Of course, no visit is complete until you’ve picked up a souvenir and so a visit to the shop is a must. Purchase a Melin Tregwynt tea towel as a small memento of your visit or treat yourself to one of their signature fabrics available as blankets, cushions, coats, bags, dressing gowns and so much more.
Wherever you stay in Pembrokeshire, we’d recommend a visit to Melin Tregwynt followed by a stroll along Abermawr Bay and the Coast Path, particularly if the weather is warm and sunny. You’ll know when you’ve arrived at the mill, for the first thing you’ll notice will be three giant colourful knitting needles and a large ball of wool.
