An unbelievable mill that is over 8 centuries old, and to think that a mill stood on this site over…read morea longer period of time. As they say, mind boggling. First impressions were that entrance fees were really affordable and this came with an interesting booklet. We decided to just wander around and take everything in at our own speed. There was a wonderful guide who, obviously, knew so much about the mill because he was followed by a group of people but there were so many informative panels throughout. For the younger generation there were various, educational, puzzle boards. Actually, without children around it gave we older clientele a chance to have a go ourselves without being shown up. Good to see that money has been spent on the upkeep inside and, also, a nice walkway outside to see the reservoir that is filled at high tide. A wonderful hour or two spent reading, viewing and absorbing information. Thank you.

We rolled up late afternoon on a long day out in Norwich and the friendly staff kindly suggested we…read morespend 5 mins in the cafe or gift shop so we could purchase their Twilight tickets at GBP2.50 which is a steal. We did have to pick what we were interested in and walk through some displays we weren't necessarily into, but we had plenty of time to enjoy everything on offer. And boy, do they have offerings! Firstly I was impressed by the architecture as you approach the antiquated castle, then by the glass addition on entry which blend both old and new together. We started by walking up to the ramparts to view the city and you continue to see the seamless way they integrated the buildings on the staircases. Then we started at the beginning of the museum and enjoyed the banquet hall where there are hands on displays including fake food and clothing for children....or your inner child ;) Great photo op! There are continued interactive displays throughout the museum to enjoy so keep a lookout. As well as museum displays there are art galleries and although I'm not usually a fan of modern art I was intrigued by some of the artwork using mixed media. The museum really does have something for everyone's interests, military, archaeology, social history, teapot collections, taxidermy in landscapes, every era represented. I hadn't expected to see so many excellent exhibits in a museum this size. Norwich knows how to build a museum! If I ever return I will start my day at the museum and spend more time there.

So I kept that in mind while reviewing them. On to the review. The volunteers here are fantastic, to include the one ex-RAF guy working the entrance, who I spoke with several times over the course of my visit as I strolled about. They have a good number of aircraft out on display, to include the very first Sea Vixen delivered to the Royal Navy, and is the only first generation Sea Vixen on display in the world! They also have a smattering of aircraft wreckage from the war, as well as memorabilia from the B-24s that flew out of the airfield near here. They also have pieces of German V-1 and V-2 Rockets that impacted in the region, but I almost overlooked them, because there's so many different random artifacts. One thing to keep in mind is that a majority of the planes are outside in the elements, so if it looks like rain, be sure to plan accordingly.
