I absolutely love visiting this place! It features a beautiful house with engaging and interactive museum displays that appeal to both children and adults. The true highlight is the garden and its grounds—a stunning area that combines formal gardens with open parkland. While it's not huge, you can easily explore it in just a few hours. My kids enjoy the A-Z treasure hunt throughout the gardens, and I'm particularly fond of the new birdhouse and kitchen garden. The staff are really friendly, and there's a lovely little gift shop. We typically bring a picnic as there’s plenty of space to sit and enjoy our meal, but the café looks nice as well. Just a heads up—there doesn't seem to be a lift in...

The artifacts on display, along with thoughtful interpretations and captivating archival films and books, create an adventurous spirit that resonates with the tragic events that unfolded in the icy expanse of Antarctica. The gardens are charming, featuring quirky information plaques that highlight Oates's many interests. While the café prices may be on the higher side, the food is excellent. On sunny days, you can enjoy watching kites soaring overhead while leisurely walkers pass by on the promenade. Overall, it’s a delightful place to visit!

Surprisingly diverse location in a village. There are two car parks, if you are visiting here the upper one will be free. Ticket prices are rather expensive (15-16 pounds) but there is a house and a garden so you can spend at least two hours here. The cafe has ya with scones and beer from the local brewery. The history of the place is will explained and interesting and the attempt at getting the original garden back is impressive.

I was pleasantly surprised by this garden; I initially thought it would be quite small! Instead, I discovered a beautiful park filled with stunning trees and lush flower beds. I enjoyed a lovely morning exploring the garden and, to top it off, I had a delicious mac and cheese at the café on the premises. This place would be perfect for a visit!
