The museum is home to 100 audiovisual exhibits and large historic objects including a brick press, the world’s first steam locomotive, and one of the few existing coal wagons.

Clyne Gardens

This garden contains different collections of plants set in lovely parkland. It is internationally renowned for its Pieris, Enkianthus, and Rhododendrons.
