Sheffield Manor Lodge, Manor Oaks House

A very informative museum/castle ruins with a huge impact on history! Mary Queen of Scots on house arrest there fir years and Cardinal Wolsey hid there too! The staff/volunteers were great, very friendly and dressed up in character. Amazing value for money too!

Absolutely brilliant! It's just a nice way to spend a couple of hours learning about where we live, on certain days there's kids activities, dressing up in the lodge, you can get a guided tour, lovely flowers depending on season, lovely staff and a few nice spots for a picnic, you can walk further down to the little farm and a lovely cafe or walk onto Norfolk Park and into town, we really enjoyed our afternoon.

A lovely place, perfect for a day out with children. The staff are really welcoming, engaging and knowledgeable on the history of the grounds. Events are well planned. The space is wide and open, but exits are secure so that you don't have to worry about little ones. The sandpit is my daughters favourite. The seasonal trails are great, my daughter always learns something new. There's plenty of parking, clean toilets, it's all on one level and very accessible with pushchairs or wheelchairs. There is a small gift corner and shop that sells snacks and drinks, an educational room, and outdoor picnic area. prices are very affordable. The meadows are stunning. A hidden gem that deserves more recognition, I'd definitely recommend a trip.
