What an amazing place! We happened to see this museum as we…read morewere walking by and were intrigued by their moving signage. Inside there are plenty of machines that whir and perform small tasks or even make music. Lots of interactive things to see and do, buttons to push, pedals to press, even a magnetic marble track you can build yourself! It's a treat for young and old and definitely worth the small entry fee.

The opening hours are stated for October to March. Opening hours from April to September are a…read morelittle longer (10:30 to 18:30 daily). A friend recommended this place to me thinking that my boys would like it. My friend was right! We did all enjoy the interactive displays. The extent of the interactivity is mainly pressing a button though but it's still good. There is an interesting range of mechanical art and my boys and I were fascinated by the mechanisms. It is quite a small place. It cost £19 for the four of us (2 adults and 2 children) which isn't too bad but, considering we spent less than an hour in there and saw everything, it does seem a little expensive. There are two floors. One very small room on each floor displaying different pieces of art. It can get rather crowded due to the small size, especially downstairs where the entrance/exit is the same. In the same small area, there is a counter where there is a single member of staff who both admits people and serves the gift shop. The gift shop is basically a small portion of the wall within the ground floor of the museum. Many items are over-priced and the selection is very limited. We did enjoy ourselves there and would recommend it but it could get claustrophobic and the upstairs can be noisy (although it does state this on the signage).

Pitt Rivers Museum - Museum looking up from the ground floor.  So much to see!

We had a great time exploring the Pitt Rivers Museum! There is SO much on display it's almost hard…read moreto take it all in. If you're an anthropology buff, this is your place. So many neat things to see and everything you can imagine, too many to list. From clothing to masks to weapons to toys all from different cultures and different times. We even saw a Totem Pole! Overall a fascinating place to visit, just wish we'd had more time to explore!

What you think of Oxford's Pitt Rivers Museum likely depends on how you like your museums. With…read moremore than 500,000 objects on display, Pitt Rivers is ripe for exploration. There's multi-level display cases everywhere, each seemingly containing more than the last. And don't get me started on the drawers; they're everywhere too, and when you pull them out you'll find hundreds more items in each. So if you like your museums with a few paintings on each wall this might not be your jam but you'll still probably be happy you went. You've likely never seen anything like this. A young woman in a shop mentioned, several days before my visit, that she particularly liked this museum and the way she described the entrance intrigued me. As it should: the entrance to this museum is found when you're already inside another museum (The Museum of Natural History; both are free of charge). Officially, the Pitt Rivers Museum displays both the archeological and anthropological collections of the University of Oxford. But unofficially, it's like entering someone's giant garage, very well organized but also packed to the rafters. One could spend months in here and only skim the surface.

Blimey, this house is almost older than Brazil! Built in 1590, Blakesley Hall is a fine 17th…read moreTudor's building located in Yardley, Birmingham. After belonging to important people from that area, the house became a museum, in 1935. This architecture survived a bomb in 1941, had also several renovationsbut it's just incredible how architecture and history was being preserved for almost 400 years! I have visited this wonderful heritage hall once and the experience of being inside this listing building is like going back in time to find out more about Birmingham in the past. There is a lovely cafe inside the property as well and some tables outside, where I had a really nice coffee and a gorgeous piece of chocolate cake that brought me to the atmosphere of old farmers days. The admission to this wonderful heritage is £ 4 (adults) and children under 16 years have free admission. The access to the garden and visitor centre is also free. The Blakesley Hall provides several events during the year and it's always a good idea to check their website regularly to be updated about them.

On par with the heritage of Sarehole Mill, Blakesely Hall is one of the greatest pieces of history…read morelocated outside of the city centre. The hall is seeped in history and Tudor royalty, and immediately transports visitors back to this time (by smell alone for me). If you love learning more about Birmingham's past, and piecing together what the city used to be like, then Blakesely is well worth a visit for you! The garden area is by far the best part, as it is maintained to perfect the Tudor era through the beauty of herbs, lavender and other flowers from this time. The garden is great to visit in the summer, especially when the flowers are in full bloom. Inside, the hall isn't quite as exciting as I'd expected, and I think Sarehole Mill is definitely better with regards to my interest. There are very little props or descriptions at Blakesely, and I find the whole experience a little too simplistic. However, the small cafeteria is really nice and relaxing, as it looks over the garden; So you can sip a tea and imagine being alive 400 years ago!

RAF Coningsby, on the B1192 south of Horncastle, Lincolnshire. About half a mile from Coningsby…read morevillage, 13 miles north-east of Sleaford on the A153. The Battle of Britain Memorial Flight operates a Lancaster, five Spitfires, two Hurricanes, two Chipmunks, and a Dakota. In 1986, it became possible to view these historic aircraft, at their base at RAF Coningsby. In the years immediately following World War Two it became traditional for a Spitfire and Hurricane to lead the Victory Day flypast over London . From that event there grew the idea to form an historic collection of flyable aircraft, initially to commemorate the RAF's major battle honour. Since it began in 1957, the aircrew on the Flight have been drawn from volunteers who maintain the 12 historic aircraft both at Coningsby and out on the display circuit. Visitors are led on a guided tour around the BBMF hangar by knowledgeable and enthusiastic volunteer guides, who give freely of their time and who, in many cases, have first hand experience of the aircraft Entry to the exhibition centre, souvenir shop and car park is free; there is a small charge for guided tours of the hangar, with special rates for groups Well stocked shop offering an extensive range of aviation gifts. There is a permanent exhibition gallery exploring Lincolnshire's links with the RAF plus regular programme of temporary exhibitions. Open Monday to Friday 10.00am - 5.00pm Guided tours of the hangar from 10.30am - 3.30pm (3.00pm November - February) but of course in show season they cannot guarantee certain planes will be there. You will see them flying somewhere though. These are REAL planes folkand I love 'em!
