Discover three fascinating stories about explorers of the Natural World. Gilbert White, the pioneering 18th-century naturalist; Captain Oates, who travelled the epic journey of discovery to the South Pole in 1911-12 with Captain Scott, and Frank Oates, a 19th-century explorer of Africa and the Americas. Marvel at his fabulous collection of birds, animals and African weapons. Delight in the wonderful garden, with plant sales too. Free entry to the award-winning Tea Parlour and Gift Shop. 100th anniversary of the death of Captain Lawrence Oates in March 2012 - a new exhibition on him will be launched. See website for details.
