👍👍 Historical building with good displays and plenty to do for children,has a nice tea room/bar.

👍👍 The refurbishment has really gone well. The craft market set the tone with loads of bargains to be had. Life of Pie, the pies were excellent and very well priced

👍 Lovely little cafe with beautiful planting out on the terrace/patio area. Clean toilets. Little band of merry men started up just as we were leaving but we listened to 1 song.

👍👍 A great walk around the Deer Park and along the river bank. The building is interesting (you just walk round the edges) and the park land is beautiful.

👍👍 Gate is unlocked. Little bit of interesting Roman and pagan history.

👍👍 The furnace is a short walk down a lane. Parking is signed off the main road. Quite a fast road so keep ye eyes peeled. The furnace looks amazing, a little bit ominous but an important historical building. Lovely walk down to the river, pretty short and you get the company of a fella with a big nose...
