Sporting Memories Museum
Developed out of a love of sports, this family run museum began as a simple games room in their home that eventually sprawled over eight acres of land to include 16 buildings with an impressive collection of sport, leisure, music and bar related items, from canoes to darts, gramophones to juke boxes. Visitors are welcome to explore the lake, waterfalls and lush trees that surround the buildings. Coffee and tea are available and guests are welcome to bring a picnic. Open daily from 9:30am to 4:30 pm.
