Reviews
Lovely place with lots to do for all ages 5 out of 5 stars
Lovely place to visit. We got museum passes which are great value so we visit regularly. Even toddlers can enjoy a trip here. Lovely big outside play area with sections for different ages. The farm is great and normally runs free tractor rides and sometimes horse and cart rides too. It has a beautiful walk and stamp trail. And of course there's the workhouse museum to explore. They run lots of special events throughout the year too.
