THE 2019 MEMBERS GUIDE TO ATTRACTIONS, GARDENS, HOUSES AND MUSEUMS www.cpre.org.uk PROPERTIES AND ATTRACTIONS 2019 Powell Cotton Museum pg. 19 Hello and welcome to the 2019 edition of CPRE’s Members Guide to Attractions, Gardens, Houses and Museums. I am delighted to say that new for this year’s Guide we have Merriments Gardens, Sussex. This four acre garden is a hidden treasure for garden lovers with a relaxed, classic, contemporary style. The beautiful colour-themed borders are set amongst the rolling countryside of East Sussex and evolve through the seasons from Spring pastels to the fiery Autumn hues of the many trees. Also new this year is Didcot Railway Centre, Oxfordshire, which is home to over 180 years of railway history from Brunel’s Broad Gauge to modern trains and Danson House, a Grade I listed Palladian villa set in the award winning Danson Park, is featured for the first time in this year’s guide. Attractions returning this year include The Roald Dahl Museum and Story Centre in Buckinghamshire, Cerney House Gardens in Gloucestershire, Shibden Hall in Yorkshire and Firle Place in Sussex. The attractions featured in the guide kindly offer discounts to our members at their CPRE is the countryside charity that works for a beautiful and own expense, so it is important we support them.
