Worth a visit if you're into photography. Def check out the Insight Gallery (appointment only) for a fab collection of old gadgets...it also has an IMAX :)
Remember to start down stairs. It's really good for kids or all ages and there is plenty of local history. The cafe is nice but a bit expensive.
This place is so lovely when the sun is out, stroll around the wonderful countryside and see the amazing monumental sculptures!
Beautiful collection in a great building, with plenty of friendly helpful staff.
Great little museum that used to be a wollen mill. Still as all the old machinery that still runs and works.
Chocolate dinosaurs in the sweet sins halfway up the hill. 2 for 85p. Also garlic cheese in the cheese shop.
Food basic but good for small children. Good geology section and lots of bugs(dead) and live bees
It's interesting if you're interested in sculpture. It is also one of the quietest places in the city centre if you need to study or conduct research.
