Walking across, you feel the history and grandeur. Perfect for photography and a serene stroll. Highly recommended!

    Loved every aspect of this museum. Firstly, it doesn't feel like just one museum. There is an actual SS Great Britain exhibition, with so much to learn about the ship, before even stepping foot on it.

    I've been here countless times growing up & always enjoyed playing in the park as a kid or having BBQs pre Covid with friends on really warm days
