Captain Cook Birthplace Museum

Reviewed By Mobile35942195053 - Bristol, United Kingdom

Fascinating museum that takes no prisoners, this is a true and factual account of who Captain Cook was, what he achieved and at a point in history that was brutal but such an adventure. Something for all the family, inactive areas, a shop, cafe and good facilities. Educational visit, met with a friendly welcome.
