What travellers are saying
- tartnjohnOlney, UK3,804 contributionsNever having been at Waddeson Manor, we took advantage of a local tour company that was running a couch trip to experience their Light Trail, market stalls and the Christmas festive display around the grounds.
The building was built by Baron Ferdinand de Rothschild as home to his extensive art collection is now owned by the National Trust. The tour also included a visit inside the mansion to see the treasures which, being Christmas, were almost overcome with the decorations and displays for the festive season which had taken the theme “Sleeping Beauty”.
The outside market was a little disappointing being primarily food and drink. Whilst there were a few gift type stalls, they were certainly overshadowed by the large number of stalls carrying mulled wine, burgers, German Sausages etc. etc.
We visited the Manor and that turned out to be a quite amazing place. The artwork, décor and furnishings were magnificent but add the Christmas glitz, made it an absolutely fascinating experience. Very well put together and the modern more than complimented the treasures.
Unfortunately we left before it got really dark when I am sure the lights would have been even better.Written 13 January 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Howard-LiverpoolLiverpool, UK3,367 contributionsWas a little bit disappointed with the lack of information on the site. Arrived at 10:30 but rides were not running for an hour or so but no info!
The whole area is a bit chaotic but so much of railway interest everywhere. It was Winterish and so probably looked worse than normal but as so many museums probably lacked enthusiasts. Loads to see and eventually a short but fun standard gauge ride. The best part for me was the miniature railway. Ran fequently and well loaded. 2 engines being used 1 steam 1 diesel outline. A really good miniature railway and a great length.Written 13 October 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Thoughtful and wonderfully maintained public areas, perfect for families including the very old and the very young. Extremely friendly and helpful staff, with an expert knowledge of their patients. Interesting and informative talks and chances to meet the long-term residents! A trip with my 10 year old son exceeded all expectations and left both of us inspired and delighted.Written 6 August 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Caro CantillanoPinner, UK131 contributionsBeautiful walking woods. Multiple trails to follow, including cycling and running trails. There are signs everywhere, easy to follow and beautiful landscaping. Could get busy with school trips, but overall beautiful experience. Toilets were clean and the cafe was very good! We could bring our little dog along the way. Staff is really nice and the parking lot is quite big. Parking is a bit expensive tho.Written 11 August 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Chelsea BMilton Keynes, UK2,017 contributionsCertainly one of my favourite places for a walk, the views are amazing, although it's on a hill the walk is really easy too.Written 7 June 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Ali0818London, UK352 contributionsA very enjoyable three hours with the 7 yo looking at everything the museum has to offer. Roald Dahl gallery first. Excellent interactive galleries and a glass elevator. Loved the shadows generator, green screen, Imside of James’s peach and the Twits upside down room. Only open in bucks holidays-check before attending.
Rest of the museum also worth a look. You could go round quickly but as I say we lasted three hours so worth the journey to get their. A great dark room den of activities and a forces exhibition with tins of hands on activities. Take a picnic and avoid food. Panini was taken out of freezer and nuked in the microwave. Barely edible unfortunately.Written 8 August 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- IL_Redheads_RockLake County, IL88 contributionsAmazing views of the surrounding area. Cute village with a lovely pub. Slightly windy when we arrived but I could see sitting outside the pub on a nice sunny day enjoying the surrounding area.
The windmill was precisely that, a windmill.Written 14 October 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Had a little escapee kid roaming around. Needs the support so please go along.

- Peter ENew Forest National Park Hampshire, UK2 contributionsAn excellent look back into the history and stories of RAF apprentices and the men and women from RAF Halton. A lot packed into a small space.Written 22 May 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- AM3neMelbourne, Australia45 contributionsThe children’s museum is an interactive experience for children (and adults!) of all ages. Contained within two small floors, there are a number of areas themed on Roald Dahl’s books which form the basis of the museum, with general historical items and information on the author’s life to be found amongst it all.
We especially loved the BFG microphone, Fantastic Mr Fox’s tunnel, Matilda’s library and the interactive shadow booth and seeing ourselves on the green screen (tv).
It’s not a large gallery but just the right size for young children to be entertained throughout. Reasonable prices and the staff were friendly, informative and helpful.Written 23 July 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
