Visit the beautifully preserved cottage birthplace and museum of David Lloyd George, the Welsh statesman who shaped the modern world — from the People's Budget to the Treaty of Versailles. An intimate, profoundly moving experience of British political history.
What to expect
Explore the fascinating museum galleries tracing Lloyd George's rise from Welsh village boy to Prime Minister and architect of the welfare state. Then step into Highgate, his childhood home — a simple Welsh cottage of extraordinary emotional power. The adjacent River Dwyfor, where he walked daily, provides a beautiful backdrop. Knowledgeable local staff bring the man and the era vividly to life. End at his grave, designed by Clough Williams-Ellis of Portmeirion fame.
