...Once called “the noisiest museum in the world”, the Museum of Childhood is probably one of Edinburgh’s most popular cultural attractions if visitor figures are anything to go by – which is not bad going for a city so crammed full of museums as galleries as Edinburgh is. I happened to be at the museum in late January doing some research, and rather enjoyed my visit there. Granted, I was not your average visitor in this sense, but by now I probably know more about the museum than you would ever want to read! The Museum of Childhood claims to be the oldest museum of its kind in the world. I say “claims” because nobody is really quite sure if this is true, and as the curator says, they haven’t been contradicted yet! They are certainly the oldest museum of childhood in Britain, anyway (there... Read review

...Do you have a free weekend or can you spare time for a short break in one of the UK's and, perhaps, one of the world's most historical and beautiful sites? Until I came to live in Shropshire, I'm ashamed to say that I had never heard of the Ironbridge Gorge or realised that a part of this country held the title of the ' Birth Place of the Industrial Revolution'. Please don't be put off by the word 'industrial', the Ironbridge Gorge and its museums will fascinate everyone from toddler through to senior years. Every museum cleverly provides an interpretation of this World Heritage Site that will grip your imagination and have you returning again and again. Every visit to Ironbridge and the museums should begin at the stunning ironbridge itself, designed by Abraham Darby and built in 1779 this is the world's first iron bridge. It... Read review
