1. St. Winefride's Well & Shrine

Beautiful shrine and adjacent holy well of St Winifrede, that continues to be blessed with an air of sanctity and holiness. The main buildings are medieval and the well water has healing properties. There is a shop and refreshment room nearby with a car park across the road. Pilgrims can take away as much well water as required, providing they bring their own container(s). This is the only holy well in the country with and unbroken tradition of pilgrimage since the fifth century. I can thoroughly recommend a visit.

Overall Ratings

A seventy acre Heritage Park and Museum. The Park contains woodland, scheduled ancient monuments and five reservoirs. Once home to industry, noise and pollution, it is now a haven for wildlife. The museum was developed around Abbey Farm, a working farm until 1979 and is also home to buildings rescued from elsewhere include historic farmhouses and a Victorian school house. There are plenty of areas to play in including an adventure tree house, explore our tunnel maze and make a splash with our water games. Toddlers can have fun in our soft play tractor heaven barn and children of all ages can try to find their way out of our Mega Tower maze! The majority of the collections span between 1850 and 1950 covering a variety of themes including agriculture, social history and the industrial history of the local area. • Farming objects and machinery • Spring Garden School • Victorian Farm House • Tudor Farm House and Gardens • Local People in Industry • Textile and Paper Mill display
