Exquisite house with a great story well told of Britain’s first ecologist and nature journalist, Gilbert White… Add to that the story and display of Scott’s Antarctic ill-fated expedition and the inquisitive mind will be well satisfied.

There was a range of things to do (pull out drawers, pencil rubbings, photo opportunities etc)… I will definitely return with my own, younger children as I am sure they will like it too.
