What a wonderful visit. We walked through a forest of enchantment and pleasure during our visit to see the famous Cambo snowdrops by moonlight A hot tea after the walk ended a great night out and great value for money. Visit during the day is also a great experience. More

I attended their Star Gazing evening and found it extremely interesting, the building itself it amazing- exactly what one would expect of a home like this. The evening had a lecture and they erected a planetarium within one of the large rooms. Excellent and would definitely recommend. More

It's remarkably exciting to wander along a fairy-lit path through an unknown forest glen on a dark wintry night! Gorgeous light installations, natural art sculptures, and unusual sound accompaniments en-route are an attraction in themselves, besides the wonderful snowdrops. We were the last to arrive on our evening, so perhaps that helped. Fairly pricey, but seems to be for a... More

Previous reviews have been variable. Here's mine.Cost 5 pound per adult sounds a lot but children are free. I don't know if pedestrians are charged as payment is made on the way in from the road. There's another way in - from the beach - no charge. Can't miss the pigs, they're by the top car park. When we were... More
