The Regimental Museum of The Royal Welsh (Brecon)

The Museum tells the fascinating story of four of the British army's most famous regiments. This long history, dating back to the 1680s, is told through many kinds of objects including uniforms, medals, weapons and models. The regiments have seen action in many prominent events, including the British campaign in South Africa (visit us and discover what really happened in the 1879 Zulu War!), And both world wars. Forty-three of the regiments' soldiers have received the Victoria Cross, and we commemorate their sacrifice and heroism as well as that of all the men and women associated with our regiments who have contributed so much to our country.

If you’re into military history this is well worth a visit with exhibits dating back to the beginning of the Regiment and from every conflict it’s been involved in. We had a great couple of hours here

This is a family run business. Everything very clean. Shop was well stocked and well displayed. Food was lovely. I read on here that it was deemed expensive. I don’t know what part of the country they lived in but all prices are very reasonable indeed. All children had great fun. Even the older kids. Definitely going again. You will not be disappointed.
