A nice house to visit. Lots of things to look at. Set in a lovely park with amazing views over Sheffield town centre. Free entry, only open at weekends.
Lived near and worked in Sheffield and never knew about this place. If you have an hour or so to use them try here. About 500 years old and well worth a visit. Not much parking though. Free entry.
Very interesting property. It's nice to walk inside in the uneven floors and get a taste of the past. Information displays in all rooms and informative friendly guides in hand to answer any questions. Makes you wonder how this beautiful old property survived in tact in the heart of built up Sheffield.
An amazing place with lots of historical items inside. Its very interactive with signs explaining what each of the items are (and some of them can be touched). I've been before to watch a historical knight battle and it was great! Its located in Meersbrooke park and is very close to a grassy hill with a view of the city. There are also 2 playgrounds; one behind it and one down the hill. I would definitely recommend visiting this place!
The best preserved timber framed house in Sheffield. The earliest part of the house dates to 1554, owned by the Blythe family and has been added to, adapted and constantly occupied until 1976. It is now open as a museum of life in 17th century. Entry is free and though the site is small, it is definitely worth a look in. There is plenty to look at and it is fairly interactive for children. There is plenty of information available in each room, though the steep stairs and uneven flooring makes it not too disabled friendly.
