Small but famous picture gallery
In its hey day, during Victorian times, this was a world reknowned exhibition centre made almost entirely of glass, a new technology at the time, and the brainchild of Queen Victoria's Consort, Prince Albert. It burnt down under suspicious circumstances and the museum tells the story. The grounds are magnificent and represent the first real exhibition of life-size dinosaurs which can be seen in the lake and surrounding areas.

Outstanding Medieval castle where many famous historic characters were imprisoned and many beheaded. Abounds with iconic sights and stories and the atmosphere is incredible. You can see Traitor's Gate from the south bank of the river and realise how terrifying it must have been to be taken there.

Plenty of good restaurants for every taste and every budget, check out TripAdvisor recommendations. We like Joanna's for special occasions. Some great pubs, often with live music. There are clubs in the area but I have not been to any.
