About

Housed in the former All Saints Church, there is plenty to explore in this much-loved family- friendly museum. Get up close to nature as you discover an interesting perspective on the local natural environment from the Ice Age right up to today. Take a peek in a badgers sett, explore the garden trail and stag beetle exhibition and much more. There is lots to discover!
