National Cycle Museum — Attraction in Wales

This is a fantastic place. I think it is run entirely by volunteers and they were so friendly. We had a personal introduction to the collection and were told what particularly we should look out for as we went round. Entrance is only 5 pounds (4 for concessions). If you have just a general interest in cycling you will enjoy looking at the older bikes and penny farthings. If you are a keen cyclist you will be fascinated by over 200 different bikes and the history of bike manufacturing. The exhibits are a little crammed in as they have so much to show and some are up high so it can be a little difficult to read some of the signs but it's just such a great place. We were on a bit of a tight schedule as we had a train to catch so were sorry to have to rush round. Will definitely try to get back for...

Indeed it is a disappointment that governments are not prepared to support this type of history which without the commitment of volunteers would be lost to us all. The museum is housed in an old but highly interesting retail unit with an extensive collection of bikes, particularly those manufactured in the UK. European cycle museums, as you would expect concentrate on their own national manufacturers, although cycling is by its nature international as this is seen in all the museum's. Definitely...

What a great little place to visit if you have an hour spare.

There are plenty of bikes to see from all ages of past times. It is presented very well and the staff were very nice and friendly.

We parked on Middleton road car park which charges during the day, and walked across, but there could be a free car park behind the museum nearer to the lake.

It is only open a few days a week so check the website, I think it is Monday, Tuesday and Saturday. There will be plenty of signs outside saying it is open.

Kids are free but adults are £6 but we felt that was...
