Step back in time, lots of shops and loads of education interest. Do try the walk up to the plain, by the river, it's lovely, you can go back down to the town by the steps.

We went here on Fathers Day as we thought it would be a nice place to come to.
We bought an Annual Pass and got it slightly cheaper as we are both English Heritage members.
We loved looking aroun the old shops and houses and I bought a lovely Sun Bonnet from the dressmakers for our 3 week old baby....

went to blist hill after a alton towers weekend was very authentic and interesting friendly staff who get into character bring the village to life nice relaxing walk around enjoyable way to spend a day bread from the bakery is superb and the chip shop too but there is a bit of a queue
A good taste of how things are done in a "manual"world. Car parking good as are the site maps.Not mad about the catering on offer!!! Not as well liked as Beamish ,Co. Durham
The work done here is excellent but a few corporate, money making, inflexible issues spoil it! Such as every shop in the town selling goods, some shops exist purely to sell and lack historical interest. The refreshment areas sell rather cheap food.
A must for anyone interested in Victorian and Industrial history. So much to see. Excellent pork pies - just as they should taste!

This is our favourite on a dry summers day.
The children love the Victorian fair ground (additional cost), the bakery selling fresh batches of bread straight from the oven, the old fashioned sweet shop and chips from the fish and chippie.

It occupied around 2-3 hours, Beamish in the North East is far better but this is worth a visit.
Even this was half-term a few activities seemed not to be running, staff overall all were friendly and willing to chat. I am going back again to take another look around, the chips were good and enjoyed by the family.

interesting insight into how a Victorian community worked and survived in a bygone age and the hardships they faced
