Slightly off the main road but still well signposted. A great little museum with interesting facts and artefacts. Seemed a bit disorganised at reception, almost seemed surprised to see us! Whilst...

Museum is small, but has a lot of great artifacts and exhibits. We did the walking tour, offered through the museum. It was so informative, a great way to learn about the long history of NOTL.
