  • By Ash Imya
    Quite small museum with free entry, but worth a visit!
  • By Dawn Jenkins
    This museum is well worth a visit. Small it might be but a real time capsule of interesting artifacts relating to Penrith, Eden and the lake district. I received a very warm welcome from one of the team on the desk as I entered. The building itself is as interesting as it content.
