Chiltern Open Air Museum is a delight. There are plenty of lovingly restored old building to see and explore, providing a fascinating walk through history. Hands-on activities for children and adults to enjoy and informative displays bring the museum to life and every time we've been there's been something new to enjoy. Over the years I've visited with four generations... More

The Museum is a collection of old buildings... More

Went with a group of buildings enthusiasts. A very interesting, well labelled, and well restored set of historic buildings, in a beautiful setting, cared for and staffed by volunteers. A lot to see: enough for a full day out. Activities and things of interest for all the family. More
