The Brampton Museum - Newcastle West

Loved the museum, and staff. The cafe was lovely too.

A lovely museum with a beautiful garden. The play area is adequate. The train ride is the star of the show. My son enjoyed it a lot!

Excellent establishment for learning about the history of Newcastle-under-Lyme (aka 'The Castle ' . It has paintings of people and buildings; there are stairs, ceilings, poems, shops, local arts, charters, statues, busts, windows, books, videos, lights, walls, arms, tables, chairs, floors, doors, a cafe, a reception, a garden and other things.

Fantastic little museum, with great local focused expositions as well as broader areas of interest. If the day isn't wet, then the outside areas are fantastic. I have many happy memories of going there in childhood, and it still lives up to it. It has really easy access from the town centre: By bus, on foot, or by car (there is parking but not massive amounts). I highly recommend this gem of a museum for all ages but even more for children. An easy 8 out of 10.

Very enjoyable visit. Lovely tearoom, very interesting museum and lovely garden and children's play area. Very friendly staff. Will definitely visit again.
