Step back in time and explore over 30 reconstructed historic buildings, including an Iron Age roundhouse, 1940s prefab, blacksmith’s forge, Victorian toll house, tin chapel, WW1 and WW2 Nissen huts, earthen cottage and working historic farm that is home to goats, sheep, chickens and cows. All set in 45 acres of calm, beautiful Chilterns countryside.
As well as a collection of historical buildings the Museum boasts a number of small traditional gardens. These include a formal Arts and Crafts garden, a pretty cottage garden, and a ‘dig for victory’ allotment next to the 1940s prefab. The cherry and apple orchards are full of heritage varieties, and the woods are carpeted with bluebells in spring.
In addition to the buildings and gardens there is a heritage adventure playground, woodland trail, sensory trail, orienteering courses, gift shop and cafe. The site is dog friendly and dogs on short leads are welcome.
