The House on the Hill Toy Museum at Mountfitchet Castle

Mountfitchet Castle and Toy Museum is a fabulous day out for the whole family.  The castle is the only wooden Motte and Bailey reconstruction on its original site anywhere in the world.  It is a living history, hands-on and interactive experience stepping back in time to see what life would have been like in 1066 Norman England.  There’s plenty of opportunities to feed the rescue animals on site and the House on the Hill Toy Museum has over 80,000 items on display making it an Aladdin’s cave of nostalgia.  For the bravehearted a visit to the Haunted Manor is also recommended.
