This is a lovely attraction. We took the tour of the print shop today and it was really interesting and enjoyable. Jo met us in the shop and was friendly and enthusiastic. Jack delivered our tour, he is an excellent guide, both informative and entertaining. He is very personable and held our interest with lots of interesting facts and demonstrations with the various pieces. Both staff are a real asset to NTS.
