Nice little place

Found it eventually, walked from the train station. Although small there’s lots of stuff in there to keep you entertained. Nice little tea shop with friendly staff. Nice ice cream counter too. Lots of historical bits and pieces in the gardens.

Great visit

The WW1 display was very good. The rest of the museum is worth a visit and the cafe in the stables was welcoming.
