I should say at the start of this review that I am bias. I love Henry Moore's work so I was very excited about going to the place where he lived and worked.
However even if you are not a fan this is a very well run place to visit. Decent sized carpark despite the rural setting, good signage, disabled access, nice cafe situated in modern but sympathetically built reception building.
Lovely grounds with sculptures scattered around the grounds. Exhibitions of his working models, drawings and sculpting work shop in separate buildings.
Tours of the family house available, but can only be booked at the site, not prior to attending. House worth booking. Very inciteful into the life and nature of Moore and his family.
Easy place to spend a long morning or afternoon, or longer if you're a fan.
Would thoroughly recommend.
