Learn The History Of Wales, The Worlds First Industrialised Nation. And It’s Free!

Wales was the first industrialised nation and owes much of its success and development to the early workers in the mines and factories that emerged in the coal and tin industry. The rapid development helped the cities of Swansea, port talbot and Cardiff boom. The infrastructure and water ways that grew around these industries still affect the culture of the country to date, Swansea Marina being a prime example. The National waterfront museum is based in the Marina and offers a fascinating glimpse into the industries and people that shaped the country. It explores the materials that were found in the land, the immigration that fuelled its extraction and the day to day life through the years and decades of industry. There’s a great balcony to take in views of the marina along with outdoor seating for the onsite cafe - a great spot to watch out for any ships coming in. 📍Address:Swansea Marina 💰Average Price per Person: free! 🕰️Business Hours: 10AM - 5PM every day #westerneurope #history #heritage #culture #travel #thingstodo #myitinerary #museums #wales #swansea
