A nice surprise to discover this museum. They have a nice collection of pumps and even some narrow gauge trains. The volunteers are very eager to tell you all about their collection and one of them was so kind as to start one of the dieselpumps. A pity we're not staying any longer, since it would have been great to see the pump running under steam.

If you love steam then this is the museum for you. It was very interesting and informative. There are knowledgeable volunteers to help with any questions you may have and there are details by the exhibits you can read. The ground is a bit rough so care needs to be taken. There is also a cafe and gift shop.

Great historical location. Full of information Into the Pumping of the levels at Somerset. The industrial railway items and various pumps add to the visit. Check the opening times before travelling.

Quaint, out-of-the -way, eccentric, ramshackle - but ever so English, this lovely museum tells the obscure story of how the marriage of early Industrial Revolution Britain with the landscape changed the countryside for ever. Best to visit on an Open Day, there's tiny trains to ride, ancient machines to watch, and so much to learn. Lovely helpful staff, a pleasant cafe and plenty of parking - it's an oddball but a definite to visit!

A fantastic opportunity to see some beautiful and historic engines restored to working order - all the better to see it on a steam day, and with the sun out! Plenty of knowledgeable enthusiasts to chat to - and some fascinating anecdotes to hear. Parking is on grass, which could get a little interesting after heavy rain. Tea and cakes were excellent, with a nice seating area (inside and out), and there are very decent and clean toilets (not the one in the leaning brick-outhouse!). Worthwhile visit, and I do hope they can restore the original boiler to working condition - a mammoth task.
