4. Amersham Museum

We stumbled across the museum by accident, and didn't really have any plans to go in, but the very friendly and welcoming staff enticed us to have a visit, and we were so glad we did! It turned out to be a very pleasant hour or so and one of the highlights of our stay in Amersham! The museum is very interesting - well laid out, informative, with a good balance of history, local insight and visual exhibits. There's some good stuff for children too. The building itself is very old and a story in itself. The best bit for me was the garden - I wasn't expecting one, but it is beautiful! Really nicely looked after and full of herbs, with a plenty of information boards describing the plants and what their medicinal benefits are. If you are ever in Amersham I would highly recommend a visit! I think all local museums would do well to visit the Amersham museum and take a leaf out of their book.
5. The Hatchery Farm Shop

Reviewed By FiofBucks - Gerrards Cross, United Kingdom
I've been a customer for a few years now and I find The Hatchery to be quite unique and a real blessing in terms of being able to find quality, organic produce. There's a great price on meats and eggs - much sourced from the farm itself and amazing service. Meals, cooked on the premises can be pre-ordered and there's a huge range of diverse, locally sourced products including hand made cards, locally made jams and pickles, plants, juices and chocolates. During Covid-19 it's delivery service has been a lifeline. Jen is ingenious with sourcing goods, encouraging local providers and finding things that are a little bit different - especially for those with dietary needs.

How could we not have known of this great place after living nearby for over 30 years! We found out via IANVISITS a web based guide to Whats On. Starting with working out why the SatNav didn't locate it to walking around the corner and seeing their signpost; traditional signposts always work when your phone fails you. Led in by the sound of organ pipes playing traditional melodies we were greeted by a cuppa and cake to spend listening to 4 hours of delightful music from these beautifully restored fair organs. We even won a prize in the raffle. Go find this time machine and be whisked back to a time when automation was first replacing musicians, perhaps the first AI. Keep restoring and preserving these wonderful pieces of automation and they will live forever to enliven future generations lives.
