An open air museum experience, where you can travel back in time to see what life was like in Norman times. You can dress up, wander about the chickens, see the log fires and feed the tame Fallow deer. Please note that it is steep in places, and access to the Bailey is up a 45 degree grassy slope, so wheelchairs or buggies may need to check first.
There is also a Hill Toy Museum included in the entry price, which has the largest collection of toys in the world. From the Victorian era to the present day. Here you can find the Haunted Manor with life sized dinosaurs and fossil hunting.
