Somerset Rural Life Museum

Somerset Rural Life Museum: The barn contains displays of farm machinery from the Victorian or early 20th Century period. Other exhibits show local crafts, including willow coppicing, mud horse fishing on the flats of Bridgwater Bay, peat digging on the Somerset Levels, and the production of milk, cheese, and cider. In reconstructed rooms detailing domestic life, the story of one farm worker, John Hodges, is told from cradle to grave. Outside, there are beehives and rare breeds of poultry and sheep, in the cider apple orchard.
