"Corris craft centre is a small place where you can get some really good gifts if you are stuck for buying someone a present. Situated in the Welsh hills approximately twenty minutes from Machynlleth it is a wonderful place to visit for an afternoon out.
The location is brilliant for its simply lovely to be there just walking about in the fresh air surrounded by the hills. To get to Corris craft centre come out of Machynlleth in mid-Wales, turn right at the clock tower, turn right again at the bridge and just follow that road. The craft centre is on your left.
Well as you might have guessed the place sells craft items but don't be fooled it sells a lot of great things. The place has about ten little shops which all sell different items such as jewellery, leather items, candles, wooden toys, cooking and many other items. The kids will love the toy shop, it doesn't sell computer games but it is a wonderful place with lots of old style toys such as wooden trains and puzzle games. The leather shop is interesting, purely for the fact that they sell proper full size swords for hundreds of pound each!
There is quite a large café which sells food and drinks at a good price. Plus there is outside seating which is lovely when it is a warm day. The best part for kids is the play area that they have there. It is for all ages really, even teenagers like the place as it has a swinging rope which runs across a large area.
The main activity people visit the centre for is King Arthur's Labyrinth which is a group visit into the caverns below Corris where you get a guided tour of what occurred there. I haven't been since I was very young but I remember it being fun and interesting. My sister went not long ago and said it was just as good as she remembered it being, so give it a go if you are there.
Corris is set in a nice place and even if you don't spend a lot of time at the craft centre you can do other things such as go for a walk to the Italian Gardens which is only a twenty minute walk away. Or go to the Centre for Alternative Technology which is a fascinating place to visit.
Overall Corris Craft Centre is a wonderful place to visit if you're ever in the area and I completely recommend it.
