Llainfadyn Cottage and Cae Adda Byre

Cae Adda byre was built in the late C18th and moved from Waunfawr in Gwynedd to be re-erected at St Fagans in 2003. It is still used to provide shelter to the Welsh Black cattle that graze in this paddock.The fence in the foreground is formed of slate slabs set into the ground and held by wire at the top; it's a traditional style that can still be found in the slate mining areas of Gwynedd. Again well done to St Fagans for preserving this little gem for future generations to enjoy and remember what it was like at this stage in Welsh history.

The cow shed can only be viewed from a distance as it is still occasionally used for providing shelters to the museum's resident cows.You can enter the cottage itself and the are plenty of things to see inside which give you a good idea of what it would have been like to live there.
