We had a couple of hours to spare before seeing a show at the local arts centre and stumbled across this Musical Museum by chance. The museum features many self-playing pianos, organs and music boxes from the last century and we were fortunate enough to be given a tour by the charismatic Roy who demonstrated many of the instruments on display. Roy was a fantastic tour guide, with many interesting stories and a natural ability to engage our older children (ages 8 and 6), even allowing them to operate some of the instruments which they were thrilled at. He really made the museum and instruments come alive for us and it was a very memorable experience. Highly recommended.

Disappointingly there was no Lady Isabella Gardner who started planting exotic flowers here on her return from even more exotic locations. The name Isabel simply means grey, yellow soil of this enclosed area because this is how this boggy, soggy area looked like few centuries ago. But now it's definitely a Bella as Italian would say. This little park within a park has a biodiversity of mini botanical garden. Other than the local trademark ancient oak trees, bluebell, daffodils flowers, there are chestnut, strawberry trees, fungi, many species of butterflies ???? moths and other little animals that come out only at night. And with a free entry for everyone, this is as good as it can get.

There are many entrances to this beautiful place and is very popular with dog walkers. There are car parks at the Rectory Lane entrance and Kimberly Drive entrance It was a place my parents took me to when I was young to catch sticklebacks and where I took my children. As with every place like this you must always be aware of others around you and be considerate to other people.

Housed in William Morris's home from 1848 - 1856, this is a 'must see' for anyone interested in William Morris and/or the Arts & Crafts movement. The exhibitions tell the story of William Morris, his philisophy and his designs through a wide range of historic furniture, designs, textiles, books, stained glass and photographs, with many examples by other artists and designers working with Morris and in the Arts & Crafts style. There is also a display of work by Sir Frank Brangwyn, a student of Morris's and, at the current time, two temporary exhibitions, one of the work of three contemporary designers based in the local Blackhorse Workshop and one on propaganda posters and other materials from China in the 1960's and '70's which are fascinating. The Museum backs onto the Lloyd Park which is enjoyable to explore and from which you can appreciate how well the modern wing with the excellent cafe and gallery space, blends in with the original building.

From the moment we arrived we were delighted with our visit to Capel Manor. We last visited in August 2019 and were anxious what we would find. The gardens were exceptionally well tended and maintained with hardly a weed in sight. All of the plots looked very well cared for, which made for a relaxing and enjoyable time. Capel Manor is different from large national trust or other country house gardens. Much of it is made up of over 30 small and medium sized individual gardens, similar in size to regular front and back gardens. These are along a 'street' - Sunflower St and a good place to start your visit. Right at the start is a Japanese garden, then in different styles including in Victorian, cottage, contemporary, mediterranean and so on. There are also a number of gardens that have won awards at Chelsea flower show and been moved there. These include an Australian style garden, growing in faith garden and one using recycled materials. April is a lovely time to visit with all of the tulips coming out, apple and cherry blossom, late daffodils and many other spring bulbs. Most of the gardens were colourful and interesting and some displays of tulips were exceptional. There is also a large walled garden close to the house which was looking wonderful. There is plenty of space with large lawns, a lake, a temple, and a modern 'ruin' on the site of the original house. This has the most striking white garden and has been set up for outdoor weddings. There is plenty to engage adults and children, keen gardeners and armchair gardeners. If you want to learn more about gardening then the Which trial area show some new varieties of plants that are being tested to see how well they grow. Will be back again later in the year for a return visit.
