Read All ReviewsThis museum is free to enter and full of interesting local information and artifacts as well as information about local wildlife. Informative, majestic, accessible, good car parking, fantastic views. The only issue is for those to climb stairs access is via circular old stone stairway and not suitable for disabled peoples but grounds beautiful & well maintained. No disabled access much in the museum i found. So difficult to visit with the disability.
