What visitors say
Absolutely fantastic day out, with plenty to interest children & adults of all ages. Very well maintained, the mediaeval village is fascinating & extensive. The toy museum is breathtakingly expansive! Allow several hours, we had 4+ but it wasn't nearly enough to see everything. Great value for the quality of the experience. Cafe & gift shop were good value, too. There is a section of the nearby pay & display car park reserved for visitors at no cost.
