First time visit and very worthwhile. Boardwalk throughout and flat walking. Good covid prep as there are one way systems. Accessible or disabled and with ramps to hides.

Apparently the only extant complete Town Gasworks in the country,the story of town gas which was the gas everybody knew before the advent of the methane based we use today is well told with all the equipment used on show. such Industrial archaeology must be preserved and I respect and admire the tireless volunteers who man this museum.

We stayed here for 3 nights, nice site, we were beside the club house and race course. Loud music from club house Saturday night but only until 11.30 ish. Clean and tidy with grass being cut around you. Very close to town centre 10/15 minutes walk via footpath.

Visited the Megafun play area only with my 5 year old. It all felt very safe with respect to COVID - clean, good one way system, lots of sanitiser and limited numbers. It was so nice for my daughter to get back inside a soft play!
5. Abbey Ruins

A short walk from the Farm Shop (where there is ample parking) brings you to this free English Heritage site. Only small so won't take long to walk around but it would make a lovely picnic spot on a nice day. We were the only visitors on a crisp but bright day in mid Dec. Some of the ruins are still very decorative and I loved finding the nightstairs. There are some information boards dotted around. We're very lucky to have such a visible piece of history. Dog friendly (keep on a lead), dog waste bin nearby.

First visit to this lovely cinema. Staff were friendly and made us feel very welcome. The cinema is a real gem. I suspect we will go often. Excellent value for money. As they have sofas in two of the screens I fear that if the film wasn’t very interesting I might nod off as they very extremely comfortable!
