Anne T visited on 10th Aug 2022 - their rating: Cond: 4 Amb: 4 Access: 4 Preston Park Museum (Kirklevington Stones): I'd tried to arrange a visit here a couple of months before the first pandemic lockdown hit, but the museum closed early, and it's been well over two years until I was able to rearrange the visit.
Some of the Kirklevington Stones are one display (some of the more important ones behind glass), some in the museum store. A small archaeology section, but with impressive exhibits.
Got to see the museum store, but the stones were stored on the floor under a very deep shelf, so some of them were impossible to photograph properly, which was disappointing.
I personally preferred this museum to Beamish, as there were more shops to go into in their Victorian Street, a small cafe, which wasn't too busy (most people were queued up in the cafe in the park), and small, but interesting exhibits.
A request needs to be made to see the stones in the museum store here.
The museum is situated in extensive grounds alongside Butterfly World, a large playpark, cafe and other amenities, there is ample of parking and overflow parking.
