Step back in time and explore over 30 reconstructed historic buildings, including an Iron Age roundhouse, 1940s prefab, blacksmith’s forge, Victorian toll house, tin chapel, WW1 and WW2 Nissan huts, earthen cottage and working historic farm that is home to goats, sheep, chickens, cows and farm cats. All set in 45 acres of beautiful Chilterns countryside. As well as a collection of historical buildings, the Museum boasts a number of small traditional gardens that complement them and suit their time periods. These include a formal Arts and Crafts garden, a pretty cottage garden, and a ‘dig for victory’ allotment next to the 1940s prefab.
In addition to the buildings and gardens there are orchards, a woodland trail, sensory trail, gift shop and tearoom (serves lunches as well as tea/cake etc). If you prefer to bring your own lunch, there are a number of picnic benches scattered around the site.
