Imagine and discover the stories unfold, brought to life in the exhibition and in audio as you follow the footsteps of the Norman and Saxon soldiers. Watch the compelling film about the Norman invasion.
See the wood carved sculpture trail around the battlefield, experience the 360-degree views from the new rooftop viewing platforms, and take your time to explore the monastic ruins.
There is a children's natural play area, and a fun kids trail.

11. Drusillas Park
Enjoy a great family day out at the mall zoo in the country in an animal and child-friendly environment.
However, animals are only half the fun; Go Wild!, Get Wet!, Go Safari!, Amazon Adventure, Mungo's Adventure Maze and Hello Kitty Secret Garden are paradise for anyone wanting a theme park experience.
