Adjacent to the Giant Redwood tree is the Museum of East Anglian Life where you can spend a pleasant day looking at the exhibits from yesteryear and enjoy a picnic by the wind pump, weather permitting. Among the many things on display are farming machinery, steam engines and a water mill that was moved to save from being lost under the Alton reservoir when it was created in 1973. |
