Arthur Machen's House

About this museum

The modest dwelling, marked by a subtle red plaque, hints at the imaginative world that would emerge from these unassuming surroundings. Visitors can explore this free museum and trace the origins of Machen's fantastical literary journey through the rooms where his creative imagination first took root.
