Advantages: lots to see

Disadvantages: not suitable for young children

We visited eden camp for a day and found we didn't have enough time everything was so fascinating we each had our different favourite hut.

You will know when you have arrived at eden camp as you will notice the planes on display. From here we paid for our entrance from our car at the gate. We was then directed to a car park and shown where to park.

At the entrance is a display of planes and millatry vehicles to look at.

The camp is made up of a number of huts. This site was a former prisoner of war camp and the huts are what the prisoners would have been kept in. Each hut is set out differently according to the topic. Beware there are a lot of huts to get round so it can take a while. The huts are numbered and the theory is that you start from hut one and make your way round. There is a one way system that opperates in each hut.

The place can get crowded especially if there is a few coach parties. Also on the camp is a picnic area if you want to bring your own food. However this is not covered so I'm not sure what you do if it is raining! There is also a buildng next to the picnic area which houses both the cafe and shop.

I wouldnt recommend this place from young children as I think they would be bored. It might suit children who are of seconndary school age. We didnt relise how long it would take us to get round as we spent a while in each hut looking at all the information, so they were literatley kicking us out at 5pm. A warning comes on the tannoy at 4.30pm to tell you that the camp will be closing at 5pm.

This place is good value for money if you are into war stuff.

Summary: We will revisit
