Great Places To Visit

Weald And Downland Open Air Museum

11 January 2010 by bigdaysout Leave a Comment

Set in 50 acres of beautiful Sussex countryside is a very special place to wander amongst a fascinating collection of nearly 50 historic buildings dating from the 13th to the 19th century, many with period gardens, together with farm animals, woodland walks and a picturesque lake.

Rescued from destruction, the buildings have been carefully dismantled, conserved and rebuilt to their original form and bring to life the homes, farmsteads and rural industries of the last 500 years.

Winner of Sandford Award 1996, 2001, 2007.
