It seemed like ages since we’d been over to the lodge so … as Martin’s knee replacement operation recovery was going well … we decided to head back over for a week earlier this month.
He still had a way to go before he would be fit enough to drive so I was in the hot seat … for the first time for this journey.
I opted to avoid the narrowest of mountain roads and stuck to the A5 across to Llangollen and it seemed the ideal opportunity to call in and have a look at the British Ironwork Centre.
We’ve driven past a fair few times and have always been intrigued as to what could be found within … based on the giant transformer sculpture at the entrance.
Well … we were in luck. At this time of year it’s free to visit from Tuesday to Friday so all we had to pay was a parking charge of £4.
Driving in we just didn’t know where to look … there are sculptures literally everywhere. Some of them are absolutely huge and all are made from recycled materials. With Martin still taking it easy following his op we weren’t sure how much exploring we would do but we certainly wanted to give it a go.
We decided to start off with lunch and inside is just as fabulous as outside …
To get to the cafe we made our way through the shop, which was crammed full of beautiful things …
The cafe was also crammed full of sculpture …
The food was great … and easy to order via an app …
The portions were very generous and I was gutted that we had no room for cake … which all looked very tempting …
It’s definitely somewhere we need to visit again … when the weather is maybe a bit brighter and Martin is feeling a bit more mobile.
We did pull over on the way out to capture these two guys which were absolutely huge …

We will most definitely be back 😀
