    Fantastic local history museum with attached art gallery and an amazing contemporary walled garden. Great for families and...well anyone really! Has a small cafe and delightful shop. Highly recommended.

    Awesome museum, free!! With a donation if you feel like it. Great Laurie Exhibition (a relation of mine!) and dinosaurs, fossils and so many other great things. The walled garden is lovely. Highly recommended
