Much smaller than I expected, but it’s still a nice place to learn some history. The staff are really friendly and helpful.

Excellent half an hour spent exploring the medieval village. Learned lots and enjoyed the walk, too. Free to enter but car park is pay and display. Cafe clean but a bit limited for options. Museum was shut on our visit. Enjoyable, though, and would recommend.

Fascinating! We lived being able to walk through the village as it is set up as it would have been in the 1300's. Placards placed at each of the buildings was helpful in describing what they were and how they would have been used. Bonus cafe nearby 😀

It’s a lovely place to walk. I was amazed at the clear waters of the lake. You could see the fish swimming around. There were so many. The birds were on the surface and it was a cool sight. We spotted a couple of water voles. I’ve never seen any before. Don’t confuse them with rats. They look very cute. The children’s play area was good apart from the young child area. It looks cute and fun, but it’s honestly a death trap. It’s steep and has lots of areas where a little one could fall. It really needs to be flattened out quite a lot. Every person I spoke to in that area had trouble with it.
