It's stunningly beautiful. It is better to plan to spend whole day there. Absolutely free, just pay for a car park in advance to not waste your time there.
A vivid immersion into history, a castle with a luxurious park where you can seat enjoying views, and a small museum that add nuances for understanding past eras.

Fantastic place to visit. Amazing houses, history all located within a beautiful location. The site is large but easy to navigate between houses, with good accessibility. On hand guides at each of the houses are knowledgeable and happy to talk. Two on site restaurants and a tea room, but plenty of green spaces on site with picnic benches so easy to bring a picnic or tailor the trip to suit your budget. A great place for an entire family as has everything for all generations.

Amazingly is free to visit ( just car park charge).Would happily pay to visit as it is a beautiful place, lots of buildings from different era's, many of them you can view inside. Picnic areas , you can buy food there too, parks for kids...it has everything.
You will need a whole day to visit property. Loved it.

This was such a great place to visit! We were really impressed by the village and especially loved the old shops, the prefab and the terraced houses. Loads of facilities on site and good parking. Toilets, shop and so much else to see and do. Definitely a whole day of things to do. The guides were friendly and helpful too.

Only did about a 3rd of it today. Well worth a visit, the gardens are wonderful and full of wildlife. Only downside only 1 of the food halls were open which durring a hot day was not great. However, the next times I visit will take my own picnic and eat alfresco.

Fantastic outdoor museum. Very family friendly & free entry, you only have to pay 6£ for parking. The site is quite large and can be done in a few hours. It’s spans dwellings from the Iron Age up through Victorian times. We visited this site 20 years ago and it continues to evolve with new additions. Highly recommend this place. We came with our 18 year old and he enjoyed it as well.

The grounds were WAY more expansive than we expected!! Very relaxing walk around the museum and the landscaping was beautiful - we visited in September, and a lot of the blooms were purple tones. The village of St. Fagans has several nice pubs to enjoy some pints. I would definitely recommend the ciders, though beware! Most of them are over 6%, so keep an eye on your intoxication level!!!!

Brilliant place to visit. Free entrance but £6 car park charge. Depending which way you travel, if you go over a train crossing turn immediately left ( right before crossing if from other direction). Don’t bother going into the castle as only 2 rooms are open to view. The day we went it was raining but that didn’t put us off. Lots to see & do. If you like old fashioned sweets I recommend that you go to the shop that sells bread, £1.40 per 100g , limited selection there though compared if you went to the main sweet shop that charged £2 for 100g. Friendly & helpful staff. The galleries were good. I would definitely visit again if in the area
