Toilets

As Joseph Parry's Cottage only has one toilet, we do not recommend that it is used as a 'toilet stop' for groups. Alternative facilities are available in Cyfarthfa Castle and in Cyfarthfa Park. 

Facilities for the Disabled

At Joseph Parry's Cottage the ground floor is accessible to disabled users. The toilet is small and has not been adapted for disabled use. There are large print guides available, and information is given verbally by a guide for the visually impaired.

The Museums service has a disability and access policy which aims to address the needs of the disabled. Any comments on the facilities provided are welcomed, and can be made in writing or by telephone on 01685 727371 or by e-mail museum@merthyr.gov.uk

Parking

Free coach parking is available at Joseph Parry's cottage. Directions are provided on receipt of your booking.

Charges - Guided Tours and Talks

Admission during normal opening hours is free.

Guided tours (for groups of less than 25) or seated illustrated talks (for groups of 25 plus) can be provided at a fee.

Visits can be arranged at times when the museum is closed but a fee to cover staffing, lighting etc. is charged of £1 per person.  We need 7 days notice of an out of hours visit (please contact us for details).

Participation in 'special events' may also be charged.
