Excellent little museum all about the introduction of clean drinking water for the local area and dozens of examples of the various pumps used. In addition to that there is a small WW2 exhibition with lots of items to see. There is a cafe too with a wonderful selection of yummy home made cakes. The whole museum is run entirely by volunteers all if whom are friendly and knowledgeable.
We visited the museum yesterday, not really knowing what to expect but it seemed an ideal choice as it's halfway between Cardiff and Pershore so a good place to meet up with family. We were all delighted with the choice! The museum really has something for everyone and shows a fascinating history of steam machines, the water industry and the people who were at the forefront of ensuring we can have clean water. The volunteers are amazing. It was especially good to talk to the lady who had gathered together so much memorabilia to create beautiful room settings depicting life in WW2. We all really enjoyed our visit and will come back again. Thank you all for what you are doing.
A gem of a place to visit! The volunteers are all very informative and the brochure given on entry explains all to be seen well. Ideal for all generations.
This place is something else Staffed by volunteers who are so very helpful and more importantly willing to share their knowledge It's a must do if you are visiting the area Also get on the miniture railway for a ride round the park.. While we were there the boating pool was in use and wow some of the model boats remotely controlled were just wonderfully constructed.. Photos attached.
Fantastic day out with a 6 & 4 yr old! Staff were all lovely, no charge for children under 16 and only £5 per adult for all day entry. Really good mixture of things to look at and also things to press/pull/pump for the little (and big) ones. Really lovely setup and I'm pleased that we were able to support them. Cafe was excellent, very reasonably priced and the food was superb and all freshly made. We will happily visit again!
