Traveler reviews
Burak
★★★★★a month agoAbsolutely phenomenal! Definitely worth the visit. Not to be missed at all! If you're coming to Bath you should visit here. Much better than the Stonehenge. Lots of lovely paths, amazing museum, good cafe. You need 2-4 hours here!
John Denton
★★★★★2 months agoVery idyllic setting and wonderful walks. Great for a family picnic. Good play area for kids with a good size indoor/outdoor snack area. The museum (converted mansion) was clean and very interesting. It mainly focused on 18th century onward, which although was excellent - but I would have liked to have seen much more 'Indigenous' native Americans information including frontiersman. But on the whole, a good interesting day with 'chilled' walks!
