This remarkable shop in Hay on Wye is a rare treat for those who value traditional craftsmanship and excellence in workmanship. The Great English Outdoors specialises in Welsh textiles and has literally 100’s of old welsh blankets to choose from: early narrow looms, antique tapestries, old nursing shawls, plaid blankets and fringed throws; as well as contemporary blankets made in the few remaining welsh woollen mills. They also sell their own range of leatherwork, working in classic bridle leathers or 200 year old reindeer leather, making wallets, purses, belts, dogcollars and handbags.
All products for the shop are carefully selected, everything must be beautiful but useful and ethically sourced, from natural or organic ingredients and locally made where possible. They also stock a large selection of decorative accessories and unusual present ideas. This is an unique shopping experience – a shop with a soul.
