Dear Kim C Thank you so much for your 5 star review of your recent visit to Down House - The home of Charles Darwin, I am so pleased to hear that you had a lovely day out with your family here. It is great to hear that the feel of the house took you back to the days when the Darwin family lived here and that you found there was lot's for children to see and learn from. Downe village certainly should not to be missed when visiting Down House and I really hope that you are able to come and visit us at Down House again soon.
This is in a lovely little village (Down?). Darwin's house, beautifully preserved. His study is nicely laid out, and throughout are displays explaining his life and work. In the garden, experimental plots remain, and what he did there (and what it meant) are explained in a way that an interested layman could understand it. Greenhouses and gardens are planted as he had them, and his beehives are still there - what he was studying and why is laid out. The grounds are nice, and to a nerd like me, visiting his study, and walking where he did daily when working was a pilgrimage. Nice pubs in the village - there was a beer festival at one when we were there. This is a nice drive in the countryside near London. There is the ruin of a church that is interesting, and the house and grounds are worth seeing. Well worth a trip.

Dear Rebecca J Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a 4 star review of your recent visit to Down House - The home of Charles Darwin, I am thrilled to hear that this was your third visit to us as you are members of English Heritage. I am so pleased to hear that you found the house well laid out and kept beautifully and it is great to see that the team in the shop were helpful and provided useful information about your visit. It is fantastic to hear that you really enjoyed the event we ran over half term ' Discover with the Darwin's' and that it was suitable for all of the different age ranges of children involved. We have more events spread out over the year, with the next one being our Easter Trail so make sure you come along and join in the fun. I am so glad to read that you enjoyed the garden and information in our exhibits and thank you for your feedback about interactive exhibits for both adults and children and our tea room too. Unfortunately picnics are not allowed within the grounds ad this is because Down House is a 'Site of Importance for Nature Conservation', which means that it contains many important protected species such as very rare forms of fungi growing in the grass around the house. We look forward to having you back in the summer for all of our summer activities and thank you once again for reviewing your rcent visit.
