It's a liitle awkward to walk to from the station, but I love the Railway Museum. It's full of displays of trains from around the world and has viewing decks of restoration works on carriages.

OK I admit it, I'm a railway geek! That said though, this is a brilliant museum with some interesting exhibits, some in working order. There is plenty to see and do, and a mini railway for the kids.
