Really nice botanical garden. Well kept and clean and lots of open spaces to move around. I like…read morethe wooden vantage point where you can get a good view of the center area. Most of the garden is outdoors, there are some garden glass houses where the humidity is quite tropical. There is a cafe on site and a nice gift shop. 6£ to enter is reasonable given the space and variety in plants and trees. You can see most of it on 90 minutes. You can learn some interesting facts along the walk. For example, did you know that Cambridge has the least rain in all of Britain? Even less than Barcelona!

It's a lovely place for a stroll and includes charming lawns to stroll around, as well as…read moregreenhouses to see flora from different climates. If it was free to visit, it's the kind of place I'd love to come all the time. For the fee, though, it's a bit small. Worth a visit at least once, though.

Bressingham is an esoteric mixture of things. There are three narrow-gauge steam railways to ride…read moreon. There are several exhibition halls with assorted steam locomotives to see and some Royal Train carriages. In the main hall is the Dad's Army Museum, which is not clearly delineated but in the same hall as some other varied exhibits. The cafe sells excellent cakes and lunches at acceptable prices. There is a signal box exhibit too, a carousel roundabout and a small ramshackle old-time fun-fair. Like many such places the museum is based on a collection rather than trying to tell a particular story. The gardens are rather under-sold. They are magnificent and very extensive. On a fine day you could enjoy them for hours. Well worth a visit.

Located just outside of Diss this place is not just an attraction for train enthusiasts. It does…read morehave several working steam trains which our children thoroughly enjoyed riding on, but it has more besides such as an old-fashioned gallopers ride. Your entry ticket entitles you to a few rides. The music is quite loud and the horses do go up and down and round at quite a rate. My young child jumped on enthusiastically but as we went round she looked faintly scared and hung on for dear life! There's also a Dad's army museum which fans of the show will love. Our children too enjoyed going in and out of the replica shops. The gardens here are beautiful as well and we enjoyed our picnic in lovely surroundings. You might even be tempted on the way out to purchase something from the Blooms of Bressingham Garden Centre which forms part of this place.

Aber der Garten und insbesondere, der angefügte Landschaftspark mit seinem riesigen, alten Baumbestand, wird Euer Staunen erwecken. Solche Bäume sind selten geworden in Europa. Aus dem Touristen-Flyer: Woburn Abbey has been home to the Dukes of Bedford for over 300 years and is still home to the 15th Duke and his family today. When the 6th Duke inherited Woburn, Humphry Repton, the famous landscape gardener, was commissioned to produce designs to improve the gardens and park. Follow the Garden Trail information boards to find out more about the Abbey Gardens and the redevelopment over the past five years to recreated and replant Reptons original features and themed garden areas.

This place is well hidden, but well worth the detour if you are after a quiet stroll and some peace…read moreand quiet. The car park used to be free, but they have recently installed pay-and-display, so be careful you don't get caught out with these new charges. They do have a lovely cafe that does some nice home made cakes and simple food, and a wonderful enclosed courtyard where you can sit outside in the fresh air. There are even a few plant stalls in the courtyard selling some of the plants you'll see in the gardens, a very nice touch. Another non-garden element worth noting are the toilets. Very clean, easy access and even a baby changing area - nicely done, and well appreciated. As for the gardens, they were featured on Gardeners World in 2014 for their Daffodil and bluebell meadow, so that is worth jaunt to see, and they also have quite a large and ornate veg patch that is beautiful in Spring and Summer - see the picture of the covered runner bean tunnel. Nice ponds, chicken coops, trellised areas etc. A lovely place for a day in the slow lane.

Things inlcuded within are the first ever engine powered car,an orginial lock up cell,numerous Waltham Forest related items such as Halex/Xylonite etc. There are also things such as a roman sarchophagus,old signs,a recreation of a Victorian Parlour Room and a 1940's room Its free entry so youve got a great little museum to look around for nothing. The staff are great also. If you read this guys thanks for your time,sorry i havent been to visit for a long time!!!!!

Within sight of the historic St Mary's Church, The museum is situated in the old parish workhouse (with a suitably grim message over the entrance!) Once through the doors (although the exterior is interesting, with the site of the old parish lockup marked out and an doorway from a demolished Walthamstow mansion) a wealth of artefacts await, including the oldest British-built petrol driven car, a police cell, a Victorian parlor, and the local archive, photographic archive and local studies library (the last three by appointment only) Behind the museum is a reconstruction of the workhouse garden, which is peppered with larger bygones such as a horse trough and water pump. Although this has no refreshment facilities, it is very close to Walthamstow Central and its hoard of take-away shops, and the garden is a pleasant place to picnic if the weather approves. There are modern toilets in the extension. There is a shop which sells local history books and lots of interesting bits for children. The staff are very friendly and helpful, and there are always lots of extras going on in school holidays, so check out the website. There isn't a great deal of parking close to the museum (there is a lay-by for 3 or 4 cars outside) but a major car park is about ten minutes walk away. I recommend this to all, it was just saved from closure (it was open 6 days until recently) its free to enter and well worth a visit.
