Centre for Alternative Technology
Newest Review: ... I wish we hadn't bothered. The place is dilapidated, in total ruin, and not worth the money or the effort to get there. When we visited there was a 60ft crane building something "new", surely if this place is supposed to promote alternate technology, why use a modern diesel generator powered crane. Even better than that there were guys walking round with Bosch electric powered ... more  ... drills, again surely "Alternative" technology means just that, not using only the bits that they want to.
As a school project maybe its worth while, but for anyone with time to kill, I would recommend you do anything else at all.

Sorry but what a complete waste of time. This does not show us anything other than how run down things can become if we let them.

When Dave and I got together he seemed to be taking my list as a personal crusade (not that I am complaining you understand!) and so I got the chance to visit the CAT. CAT is situated in the beautiful Welsh countryside about three miles north of Machynlleth on the A487. It is easily reached by bus using the Arriva Cymru service from Aberystwyth, Machynlleth or Dolgellau, which stops three hundred metres away from the entrance to CAT. CAT was originally ...

I visited the Centre for Alternative Technology in July and had a really great day there, discovering the delights of solar energy, self-build houses and composting just about anything. If that doesn't strike you as being a fun day out, then try it - you might be pleasantly surprised. CAT is situated on the edge of Machynleth in Powys. It's a bus ride from the town and you get a discount if you arrive by public transport. We arrived on the bus, complete with our tent and pitched it in the campsite next door to CAT. From the ticket office, you ride on a water-balanced cliff railway to get to the rest of CAT. The view is great (assuming ... Read the complete review
