We took our little girl with us and were surprised just how much interesting stuff they had crammed into this small place and gardens. Everywhere you looked there was something unusual from history. The Queen Victoria siting in her chair was renamed "Big Dorian" by our little one who was a bit scared of her!! Worth a visit.

As we visited Battle it seemed appropriate to visit Yesterdays World as well. It's OK but I found it a bit repetitive for my tastes. We spoke to other couples with children and they had returned more than once, so maybe it's just me
