We have just put our new canoe in the water. Beautiful looking we are really pleased. We purchased this from AV Boats and the service and help from Victor has been fantastic. Thank you.

Lovely 15th century church in quiet surroundings, with a beautiful view over the nearby almshouses and rural landscape. The master piece is the alabaster monument of Chaucer's grand-daughter Alice who became Duchess of Suffolk. Don't miss the panel with the evolution of family coat of arms - highly interesting.
4. Pendon Museum

Modelling the past for the future. The benchmark for modelling excellence. Pendon's centrepiece exhibition of the Vale of White Horse is a re-creation of the rural landscape of the 1920s and 30s in breathtaking detail. Pendon is also home to our famous Dartmoor and Teignmouth Sea Wall scene models and the ground breaking Madder Valley Railway. Our volunteer guides provide informative descriptions about the history, geography, society and transport of the times. A fun and educational experience for all. We also offer a small tea room, museum shop and free wi-fi. Disabled parking and access available.

Took a visit with my girlfriend and her father. The modelling skills on show are exceptional and realistic and the railway layouts add another dimension. The history behind the museum and the knowledge of the volunteers give the visitor all they need to know about the models on show. Highly recommended

I took my grandsons (ages 12 and 9) on the Monday of halfterm no steam but good weather! It was interesting and the boys enjoyed it. Fortunately there were only a few visitors so we were able to see everything well. However finding the centre in the first place was tricky - the brown signs directed us one way - the satnav in the opposite direction ! With no prominent sign at the centre itself we drove passed it several times. Even the DRC website didn't made it clear that the entrance was through the modern station. And the finding a parking place was very tricky - in retrospect going by train would have been the solution - another recommendation for the DRC website.

10. Nuffield Place

Reviewed By Xraydiant - Sale, United Kingdom
Nuffield Place is a surprisingly modest house, for a man who was at one point the richest man in the world. The house interior has been set out, by the National Trust, as it would have been in the thirties - anyone older than 60 will find lots they recognise from their childhood! It's not exceptional as a building, but the story of William Morris's (aka Viscount Nuffield's) life is as fascinating as it is unusual. The various elements of his story are told with enthusiasm and humour by the volunteer guides. As mentioned by other visitors, I too would have liked to have learn more about the motor car side of his life, in addition to his almost overwhelming philanthropy. For me the pièce de résistance was his bedroom wardrobe, converted whilst his wife was away, into a fettling/tool shed!
