About Minerva Museum and Private Nature Reserve
The Minerva Museum is a fascinating place - a treasure trove of interesting odds and ends! From an iron lung to a potato sorter, an aeroplane engine to a candy floss machine, the museum is home to all sorts of fascinating objects.
On display is a wide range of old cars and tractors as well as bicycles and motorbikes. Make sure you have a look at the old cattle railway cart which has now been converted into a pub - really interesting stuff!
The reserve is beautiful with spectacular views of the valley below.
