Vale & Downland Museum Wantage

Some small-town museums are of limited interest but the Vale and Downland Museum is an exception. It has a number of exhibits including the story of Alfred the Great who was born in Wantage in 849. Also a large-screen video on the area's geology. |next attraction|

Vale & Downland Museum Wantage

The history of Wantage is told: apparently it was once renowned as a place of highwaymen and general lawlessness. Wantage also had the first steam powered tram service in the country. There's even a Williams F1 car. The museum is quite small but the entrance charge is modest and represents good value. Nice little cafe too. |map|  |more places to visit|
