I visited on a wet day and it was nice to go somewhere interesting to learn more about the local area and dry out a little. I was encouraged to check in using the Serco Track & Trace app. The museum is free to visit although you can make donations by cash and also contactless. The museum has lots of different things to learn about if you are an adult or a child. I also enjoyed the Jacobean garden. The museum is very user friendly for anyone whether they are able to use steps or not. The second floor has more to explore and I was interested in the Addis collection. I never knew there were so many different toothbrushes! There is a small area to buy gifts and the staff were all friendly and welcoming.

I’ve visited this pub many times and have brought visitors from afar and everyone agrees this is a real British pub. Roaring fire, great welcome from regulars and staff alike. Hope it always stays this way.
