It's not a theme park. If you are into history, this is probably for you. I would recommend reading up before you go to get the best out of the visit. The tractor tour is an absolute must. The best parts (and the largest part) can only be seen this way. Get your name down on the list for the next available tour when you arrive. If you want to take pictures on the tour, most of the opportunities are available from the left side of the trailer. Recommend
Great day out. They have a tractor and trailer tour with a guide who really knows his stuff. A train ride and armoury museum plus a small cinema showing a 15min film. A cafe with tea and coffee but take your own food and cold drinks. Free parking.
I took the walking tour today. Absolutely brilliant experience! We started in the cafe with a tea/coffee before heading out in a small group with the volunteers. They really knew so much about the site and were so passionate about its history that it was a real pleasure to listen to. Look out for the wildlife too- we saw lots of deer around!
Took kids (6 and 7 year olds) to the mill to do a arts event. The place is filled with history which the volunteers shared. The place is large and kids were able to explore the area and be surrounded with nature and hone their sketching skills. The children also got to experience riding a small train and tractor. Very good day out and children have enjoyed themselves. The volunteers were welcoming and very informative.
We were here for Halloween and loved it therefore my son specifically asked to come here for Santa's Grotto and the pantomime.
The activities were ok but barely any resources to actually enjoy it. The santomime (pantomime) was fun, so was Santa with his Grinch stealing the candies.
Really entertaining family friendly day, with interactive learning, tractor and two different train rides, outdoor playground, interactive kids show (rockets, explosions), ammunition and rocket displays. Believe it is only open on Sundays at the moment, its really worth planning a trip! Hidden gem. Good outdoor space for a picnic on site too, clean toilets and nice cafe area with snacks and hot drinks
We attended the sketch the scene event. It was absolutely brilliant. We saw a whole herd of deer, rode on a train and a tractor and learned so much about both history and art. Highly recommend.
Visited for the kids Wildlife Exhibition on Tuesday morning in the summer holidays. Really good morning session. Simple but very engaging activities, lovely historic setting and all run by kind, welcoming and passionate volunteers. 6 year old enjoyed it, as did I. Thank you all very much.
