More information on King John's Hunting Lodge

History-lovers will appreciate the King John's Hunting Lodge a rather special place. Not only is it educational but it exudes an atmosphere of bygone ages. Using your imagination you can get an idea of what everyday life was like in the 1500s, just by wandering around this spectacularly timbered early Tudor merchant's home. The building also houses the local museum whose exhibits provide an insight into other earlier times including prehistoric Roman and medieval eras. Features include the Axbridge Nail and an example of early criminal punishment in the stocks. There is also a continually changing programme of temporary exhibits and events. Only the ground floor is accessible to the disabled. There is parking at a council car park just two minutes walk away.
