A great day out during term time (visited from else where with different holidays) so was quite quiet! Staff were extremely friendly and always willing to help! Visited with a 2 and a half year old, luckily she wanted to walk everywhere as access with a pushchair was hard work due to the nature of the site.
Great exhibits and elements of history! I did feel that £16 per adult was a little expensive for the return especially when 2 drinks and 2 small pieces of cake cost £10 in the cafe!
