   I've taken my kids to Avoncroft several times over the years. Every time we visit, we end up spending a good few hours there and just immerse ourselves in the relaxing atmosphere. Each building in itself is fascinating, particularly delightful is the cafe! We tend to finish the day of by playing in the telephone exchange and learning about the old systems. There's plenty of free parking and it's easy to find using satnav.

   Really interesting afternoon at Avoncroft seeing all the old buildings including a presentation from a lovely bloke who showed us how the windmill works. Lovely cafe with great sausage rolls and pasties. Plenty of picnic benches to sit outside to eat. It's all dog friendly too inc the cafe which is a big thumbs up from us.

   It is an interesting and well cared for collection of buildings. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff and volunteers. Had a tasty lunch in the tea room, though, despite a busy weekend , it hadn't fully stocked up on everything. Great weather made it an enjoyable day. Would happily recommend it.

   Great place to visit with a difference and not too expensive. Kids enjoyed exploring all the different buildings and using the phones in the phone boxes. And the train which cost 50p! Definitely recommend

   We paid a flying visit to the museum as we were looking for a venue for en event. What a beautiful place! So peaceful! Lovely old buildings nestled in with spectacular trees. Wonderful plants everywhere, and such a lovely energy. Fantastic panoramic views from the Windmill field. We will certainly be heading back there soon for a proper visit, and hopefully try out the little bedroom too! Friendly staff, highly recommended.

   We thoroughly enjoyed our visit here. It's a privately owned collection with no public money so it exists by people visiting and on donations. They have rescued many old buildings that would otherwise have been demolished and now have a great collection spanning a good but of local history. Not so many volunteers there on the day we visited, but still a great day out. Nice tea shop too.

   A fascinating insight into social history, through various buildings covering the eras. Worth supporting, in order to preserve them. If for some reason you're also very interested in phone boxes (somebody will) then they have a little section for that.

   I spent a most enjoyable few hours at this museum It contains a variety of buildings that were moved to this site so that they are preserved for people to see. Apart from these buildings the museum also has the National Collection of telephone boxes which I found to be most interesting to look around Very helpful and friendly staff.
