The visitor centre is a bit hard to find and not advertised as much as some other local tourist…read moredays out but it is a great day out. There is a lovely shop selling baskets made on the site they are a little bit pricey but seeing as they are made in the uk not imported from china I did not mind spending the money on one. They also sell willow to make your own baskets and garden structures (this is a bit big to take home if you are on holiday). They also make willow coffins! There is also a museum full of baskets, a video about the reed beds, a coffee/lunch shop and an exhibition about the Levels and Moors. After you have looked round all this you can go on a walk around the reed beds and get scared by the cows. The walk could be better sign posted but is worth the effort it does include quite a steep climb at the end so be warned. We had a picnic on the walk which was lovely. It is free to visit but closed on Sundays.

It is a pity that punctuation errors appear quite often in the text. Creative use is made of limited space and the fishing and shipbuilding past of the town is well presented. It would have been nice if the branch railway had also been covered as it played a big part in the resort's development. Definitely worth seeing if you are in this part of Dorset.

OK so this is not really a review of the Town Council itself (of course not!) but of this beautiful…read morebuilding labeled as Marlborough Town Council and the beautiful little town and the High Street in which the building finds itself which is full of charming (many bespoke) little shops and stores - plus restaurants, pubs and coffee shops. A wonderful place to visit on a lazy Sunday (or any other lazy day I guess). Step back in time, relax and enjoy! There is plenty of parking on both sides of the street and in the middle of the street - despite this be prepared to circle a couple of times before you find a spot. I think it is pay and display during the week but free on Sundays. Definitely worth a visit if you are anywhere close - and may I suggest Rick Stein (see my review) for lunch or dinner!!
