The Staff Here Was Wonderful In Helping Me Get A House Sign Made While SPending A Short Time In The Area. ThE ShoP Has A Very Nice Selection Of Hand Made slate items. Unfortunately, Most Were Too Heavy For Me To Take home.

Interesting display and audio tour around a functioning workshop and associated buildings. The audio device can be stopped to allow you to move between buildings. My device was crackly making listening difficult. Best check it when you receive it. You can rewind to the beginning before you set off. Hidden in the displays and commentary is that this place has... More

The tour is all above ground; you pass from building to building with headphones explaining the history/process of slate production. The kids remarked on how different this tour was. You even get chance to engrave your own name in slate. It was freezing when we went around so got to appreciate how they work now and in the past. Good... More

We have visited the shop here on more than one occasion. They have some really lovely pieces and many can be personalised. The have lots of slate decorated by local artists. We had our weddings in Wales and choose some gifts from here.

Good value for money £5 each. Its a shelf guided tour so you get little mp3s that tell you the story as you walk round from shed to shed. It was very educational and you get to try your hand at calligraphy and chiselling. There's a lot of beautiful things in the gift shop.

If you are in the area it is well worth a visit and is easy to get to by road. The staff are really friendly in the craft centre and will assit you with your purchases. I think it cost £5 to go in and you get a ipod to give you a audio tour. They give you a block... More

Inigo Jones has a good variety of slate and other goods at reasonable prices. The shop has a welcoming atmosphere with a nice cafe in a separate building. Well worth a visit for authentic Welsh products.

This is very accessible by road (A487) and called there a number of times during our recent holiday. We found the cafe was very clean and had friendly staff and offered good reasonably priced food and liked the way the Craft Centre had most of its items for sale made in Wales. Thoroughly enjoyed the great slate tour - our... More
