You know, it's amazing how fast a museum pops up after they make a significant discovery, though as…read moreit turns out sometimes it does take quite a while for a museum to appear at times. Still, it was only recently that King Richard's body was found, and yeah, suddenly a King Richard museum appears on top of the grave site. Then again, that is sort of similar to how shrines and churches in the past appeared on special sites. Yeah, the museum was actually pretty cool, it's just a shame that you have to catch a cab to get to Bosworth Fields.

An excellent tourist attraction, located over the former council car park that concealed the burial…read moresite of Richard. The building is a little quirky, but is laid out extremely well - a fact you appreciate better once you have finished the tour. At the start, you watch a video in a mock throne room, where clever life-size projections of actors in a pair of arches set up the historical background of the King. The tour then proceeds through a convoluted gallery with various artefacts and exhibits associated with Richard; clever videos and lighting effects continue the story of the House of York, before leading you to the upper floor. Here there is a wide gallery detailing the search for Richard's remains, the centrepiece being a 3D-printed skeleton model in a mock MRI scanner, with interactive buttons highlighting the wounds that he received in his final battle. Finally, having primed you with all the historical detail and the story of the discovery and identification of his remains, the tour finishes downstairs at the glass-walled site of his grave, which has been left as an archaeological excavation. Here a couple of benches allow you to sit and ponder this incredible story, and a clever lighting projection modelled on the actual skeleton shows how his body lay when it was found. A very poignant finale to a wonderful exhibition - apart from the obligatory visit to the shop on the way out, of course. The visitor centre is not easy to find in the mainly pedestrianised centre of Leicester - our taxi had to drop us a few streets away - but following street signs for 'visitor centre' soon had us in the right place. It's just opposite the cathedral too, so that's a good landmark to aim for. We wanted to visit his tomb in the cathedral as well, but sadly the cathedral had moved a service forward so we were unable to do so. They did let us sit quietly in the side aisle for a while during the service though, so we felt that we had paid our respects to Richard after all.

The Rest House can be found in the heart of Bournville Village Green. Whenever I go past the…read morevisitor centre, it's usually looked/been closed. Only on a couple of occasions have I managed to get inside, so I'm not entirely sure when this monument's opening times are! Once you do finally get into the grand piece of architecture, you are met by displays on every wall, which provide information about the Cadbury family (and the history of the Quakers). It's truly interested knowledge that's definitely worth a read! The building is as beautiful inside as it is out, with information carved into the walls, such as 'John Junior Cadbury 1906-2006' (I still can't believe he lived to be a hundred!) As well as the historical elements to this visitor centre, the shop also sells gifts such as jewellery, pens, wooden carved mushrooms and wooden carved owls. There's also a lot of replicated equipment from the Quaker period, such as old knifes and tea strainers. The Rest House is a great place to get a quick insight into Cadbury's, or to buy a present for someone. It is definitely a place I recommend visiting.

Inside they have lots of history information about Bournville as a Quaker village and also lots of information about Cadbury's World, which I suppose is expected as it is such a short distance away. They also sell a few gifts and souvenirs inside, which is good for tourists and those who have not been to Bournville before. Even if you do not go into the centre, it is a lovely place to just go and sit near and relax and take in the loveliness of the green and the surroundings as Bournville is such a lovely part of Birmingham.

There is a real variety of excellent quality play stuff for children up to 11 /12 - zip slide, sand pit, lots of slides, climbing frames a big man made hill with viewing platforms at the top and a huge xylophone. There is also a small contained playground with older equipment but very safe for toddlers at the back of the cafe. The visitors centre often have events going on, which are normally free or low cost and are usually well worth a visit. The cafe is in the visitors centre and is light and airy with pine tables and chairs and a small area with toys for younger ones. There are plenty of high chairs and it has a real family feel - always children in there! There is not a massive range as it's cooked fresh on site, but there are a good range of sandwiches, soup, and a small number of nice hot dishes, ice cream and cakes. There are easily accessible toilets and baby changing. The whole visitors centre is newly built, on one level with wide doorways so suitable for wheelchairs. There is a small wooded area to walk in (still growing as it's relatively new) though we tend not to do this too often as we find there is a lot of dog muck unfortunately - which knocks a star off. An easy way to spend a few hours on a nice day!

Hi Qypers…read more Visited this centre today, easy to find, just behind Nando's in Trinity Street. Very friendly assistant was willing and very able to provide lots of information about this venue and dig site. Entrance is free. If anyone needs to show friends any medieval sites and historic sites in Coventry, this is the place to go to. Guided tours can be booked but please ring the centre fo find out more. Also, this is a place that the "Time Team" had their instruments help to unearth The Priory Visitor Centre and Undercrofts are conveniently found near the Cathedral and Holy Trinity Church. Enjoy :)
