Situated in a glorious Georgian manor house within 120 acres of wonderful grounds and stunning scenery, the American Museum in Britain is home to the finest collection of Americana outside of the United States. Visitors learn about the Founding Fathers, the pioneers West, Native Americans and the Slavery issue which lead to the Civil War in the new interactive American Heritage Exhibition. This precedes a series of attractive period rooms dating from colonial times until the eve of the Civil War. These rooms set the scene on domestic life throughout the exciting settlement and independence years of America and are accessible via a lift for those who have difficultly with the manor house stairs. The museum has an outstanding quilt collection which allows us to alter the permanent textile display from time to time (40-50 quilts are on show each year) and an inspiring Folk Art gallery intrigues visitors with whirligigs, cigar store Indians, weathervanes and even a Mohawk ship figurehead!

I don't know where the chap who reviewed Forde Abbey on 7th May was visiting, but it can't have been the Abbey, because they have very comfortable ..."green upholstered chairs in the Tearoom, and the food was all very tasty and nicely presented on spotless and practical white crockery.
I enjoyed a delicious lunch in the Tearoom, served in the historic Undercroft, which is a beautiful vaulted mediaeval building. I had freshly-made sandwiches, which were served with a large side salad (called a garnish!) followed by a very tasty home-made cake, which again came in a large slice which I had no trouble finishing. There were some lovely flowering pot plants at the back of the room.
The gardens were beautiful, with glorious magnolia stellata in the lower rock garden and amazing (if unfortunately named) skunk cabbage in the bog garden. I wand...

"We rented a narrowboat from the Anglo Welsh Narrowboat company and could not have been more pleased with the service we received. Keith (operations manager) went above and beyond the call of duty to make our holiday stress free. We traveled from Bradford on Avon to Bath and return and enjoyed ever..."y second. Beautiful scenery, lovey villages, friendly people, a great boat, and Keith ready and willing to assist at any time made for a perfect holiday!
