Make rope on the Victorian Ropery Tour; be gripped by stories of life aboard our Three Historic Warships, be absorbed by the sights, sounds and smells of the dockyard of 1758 recreated in the Wooden Walls of England and be inspired by the Royal Dockyard Museum, 3 Slip The BIG Space and the RNLI Historic Lifeboat Collection. Visit the beautiful Commissioner's garden for a little peace and quiet and allow the children to let off steam in the new Railway Workshop Picnic and Play indoor and outdoor adventure play areas.
New for 2010!
