This is a great, local museum. Some galleries are a little old fashioned but the rock collection is really impressive and it's great as a showcase of local history. Well worth a visit both indoors and outdoors.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Cliffe Castle is like stepping into a Downton Abbey episode… if Downton Abbey had free entry, taxidermy galore, and swans with serious attitude problems. The house itself is stunning—grand rooms, intricate stained glass, and enough history to make you feel wildly underdressed in your hoodie. The museum? Amazing. Where else can you see ancient fossils, Victorian fashion, and a stuffed badger that looks like it’s plotting world domination? But let’s talk about the café. Lovely staff, great coffee, and cake that tastes like it was baked by Mary Berry herself. Only downside? The swans outside. Do not make eye contact with them. One of them sized me up like I owed it rent, and I’m 90% sure it tried to follow me home. The highlight, though, was the kids’ area, where grown adults (read: me) were elbowing toddlers out of the way to try the hands-on exhibits. Judge me all you like—those Victorian kitchen gadgets are fascinating. In summary: history, cake, and mild bird-based terror. A perfect day out.

Great museum and well worth a nosey - free entry and a little gift shop was a bonus! They truly have everything here from the life of the original owners to all about space and working life in the olden days. Toilets too. Plus it not being too big makes it all the more worth while.
