We loved our afternon here. The Centre is set in stunning scenery and makes the most of it with picnic tables alongside the picturesque river. My sister and I loved the museum, which has kids activities all through, but our boys, aged between 6 and 11 loved the outdoor space and playground. We all loved the water wheel, lake and ducks. For anyone holidaying in the area it is well worth a visit.
