While driving to the National Park, make a short stop at Cyfarthfa Castle Museum and Art Gallery, a home to an eclectic range of artworks, historical archives and fascinating artefacts. It was built in 1824 for the Ironmaster, William Crawshay II. After the Crawshay family vacated the castle in the late nineteenth century, it was converted into a museum, which first opened its doors in 1910.
