This is a must place to visit if your anyway interested in Aircraft, local aviation history. You can either spend hours reading of the fate and history behind many recovered crash site aircraft relics or spend an hour or two to look inside aircraft cockpits, see how pilots were trained in simulators or view some of the uk's most iconic aircraft that are on display. This is a place where the Volunteers are most helpful and knowledgeable. Take the time to visit even if for a short time and the entry wont break the bank! Dont let the memory of what the men and women of the services have done for us for so many years. Thanks Peter and crew for taking the time to speak to Joshua and myself. Rgds Duncan

Bought as a present. Fantastic experience from start to finish. The staff are so knowledgeable and obviously love their birds. Small group made the experience much more personal. We got to handle the birds and also had a flying display where we were allowed to have the birds flying to us and landing on our gloved hands. Totally enjoyable day for any animal lover.
4. Manor Farm Woodland Walks

This farm, converted to a nature reserve is a lovely place to get away from it all for a while. It has an old railway carriage which serves as a very cute tearoom and the home made cheese scone and carrot chutney were delicious. The cakes looked amazing but sadly I had no room left after the scone!! The family who own the woodland walks are clearly passionate and rightly proud of what they have achieved here and Alan gives a guided tour of the woodland and farmland walk around the site for first time visitors. Easy to find, good parking and dog friendly this was a really pleasant place to visit in the countryside if the Fens. Do take cash though as there is no card machine there at present.

This little space has been used to tripod a scented garden. The site is sponsored by the Wisbech Society. Many people will pass by without a second glance however it is a haven for bees which can be seen visits get when the plants are in flower

This museum was purpose-built to house its amazing array of artefacts, covering every conceivable aspect of Wisbech and Fenland life from prehistoric remains to the tools of local industry, and all sorts of interesting things collected by its founders in years gone by. There is so much to see in a relatively small space that more than one visit to this free museum could easily be made. An excellent place to pass the time if the weather's bad!

Great to find a traditional family business. We took a tour round the brewery with an excellent guide - accompanied by the resident cat - and tasted the delicious beer. The garden is a joy. Small, beautifully planted areas lead one into another making a series of oases. This place has charm. And the staff are friendly too!

This is a hidden gem in the centre of Wisbeach. The cafe is in a lovely courtyard together with the bookshop and is a very peaceful setting. The gardens are very well laid out with beautiful flower beds and orders, and the croquet lawn is a gem in the midst of the town. On the day of our visit a pianist was playing in the library , it was a wonderful experience. The house is very welcoming and has a wonderful atmosphere, well worth a visit.
