The creation of Medina was inspired by people like the wonderful Ottolenghi, and by the foods Medina herself loves to cook and eat at home. Medina has a very informal cafe vibe, delicious fresh food served all day, great coffee, beautiful Chinese loose teas - and it's fully licensed of course. As well as fantastic savoury dishes, Cheuk and the team whip up lots of home made cakes and desserts - and plenty of home baked bread too - the focaccia is delicious! What makes Medina extra special is that absolutely everything is available to take away, from beautiful meringues and cakes, to filling salads and mezze, a wonderful home cooked alternative to the usual take away dinners!

A small museum dedicated to the history of the internal combustion engine in industry over the last 100 years. The collection covers early oil engines through to gas turbines, but with the emphasis on diesel power from the 1920s to the 1960s. Exhibits are displayed in as near to the original working environment as possible, so that vistors can see, smell and hear what these engines did. The museum runs engines 7 days a week during the summer months, and by arrangement in the winter period.

Parks & Nature

Cors Caron is one of the finest raised bog systems in Britain. 12000 years ago mid-Wales was in the grip of the last Ice Age. As the climate warmed, the glaciers receded and a large shallow lake occupied this valley. A huge reed bed and woodland developed, but the climate became cooler and wetter, allowing the sphagnum mosses to invade and begin the process of building three raised bogs. For centuries the peat was cut by local people and burnt as fuel. The bogs are surrounded by a unique mix of habitats teeming with wildlife, including otters, water voles and colourful dragonflies, damselflies and butterflies. There are good paths and a boardwalk, which gives easy access for wheelchairs and families using pushchairs.
