What to expect
Some are open interiors; others are best explored from a public outdoor route.
A good place to start
Choose a theme such as architecture, local industry or everyday life. Check public access, tour times and whether the site is currently under restoration.
What to compare
- Public access
- Historical theme
- Guided interpretation
Leave room to enjoy it
Build the outing around the experience you most want to share. Allow time to arrive, pause and get home. For a group, agree on the pace and level of participation before you book.
