We have just done away with the lawn in our garden, so I am not a lawnmower afficionado by any stetch of the imagination. The museum is small but the number of exhibits could easily fill a space 10 times the size. They are literally packed on top of each other. The audio guide makes all the difference, although one...

An amazing amount of lawnmower history packed into such a small area. There was so many different types of machine on show and all very interesting.

I really liked this. It's just someone's collection on the top floor of a lawnmower shop. However if you know that before you go you could not be disappointed. Lots of quirky little things.

Has a little bit... More
