Centre for Alternative Technology

[squidette]

I am planning a camping trip soon to Wales and was thinking about visiting the Centre for Alternative Technology with the children as they are very keen to know how long it will take mummy to save the planet .

Has anyone been?

NO but where is it?

I have been twice - and thoroughly emjoyed it, but it was about 5 years ago.....

ITs near Machynlleth

we went in may - really interesting place with lots of hands on stuff for the kids well worth a visit as was king arthurs labyrinth (just down the road) llechwed slate caverns and shell island

I've been several times, both with and without children, and really like it. Would recommend it to anyone.

King Arthur's Labyrinth is a great day out too!

Thank you for all the comments - i had a look at the site and we decided to go as part of the trip

I'd go there for the restaurant alone (yum)

I'd love to go there. How old do you think your dcs should be for them (and you!) to enjoy it?

just to add my twopenny worth fot the CAT centre. Its great! loved the carriages that pull you up to the centre - think they were water powered. Loved the eco-houses and the Gia film show. Cafe was good too.

aviatrix - i can just imagine that conversation. how funny!

We went

I loved it, the children loved it.

And we all felt honoured to contribute to their composting processes!

I was inspired by the kitchen gardens and quite taken aback with the stunningly beautiful surroundings.

Really really recommend. Thank you to everyone else that did.
