    Bishops' House

    Arrive at Bishops' House as it opens at 10:00. The volunteers are friendly and the exhibitions on Stuart-era life are best enjoyed without the midday crowds. Explore the period-decorated rooms and the ongoing historical investigations.

  2. 10:45

    Café Des Amis

    Walk 12 minutes to Café Des Amis for a coffee and a light snack. It is open until 17:00, making it a reliable spot for a mid-morning break before heading back out.

    Graves Park and Animal Farm

    Take a short 28-minute walk south to Graves Park. Visit the rare breeds farm in the north east of the park. The park is large, so this focused stop lets you enjoy the animals and the woodland without getting tired.

Local tip

Check the bus routes if you need transport. The 18 or 20 to Lees Hall Avenue is a direct option, or take a wider selection of buses to Millhouses retail park and walk down Beeton Road through the park.
