Honeywood Museum
What Visitors Say
Lovely little museum by the ponds. Interesting exhibition about 200 years of trains & the local area. Friendly staff
A cosy museum not without pleasant little surprises. Showcase of local history, run by friendly volunteers. Limited car parking lots outside so better come early or on weekdays if you are driving. The museum is free, but you are much welcome to make donations, or visit their cafe, which serves good refreshments.
Wonderful place to learn more about our local area and its rich history Bring your children they will enjoy, if you have pets, just a reminder that they are not allowed. Happy visit 🌟
