Cold, damp and drafty! Well perhaps in the 15th century but not any more. Croft house museums, and castles all offer an inspired day out, away from the elements. In fact experiencing them from the cosy protection of the modern interior looking outwards, makes you really think about what life must have been like for many of our British ancestors! There is a serpentarium, a dinosaur museum - home to Europe’s best fossil finds, a sea eagle exhibition, Bright Water Centre – Gavin Maxwell’s island home, toy museum, galleries and wonderful gift shops to mention a few. So if you want to stay dry indoors, there are loads of options. Check them out here!
