Discovering Old Welsh Houses studies and celebrates the traditional houses of North Wales built between the 1400s and the mid 1700s and the lives of the people who lived in them.

We have six active branches that hold meetings and arrange visits on a regular basis.

 

Further information including branch activities can be found under Events, branch contacts can be found under Contact Us.


We are a voluntary organisation with both Welsh and English speaking members.
