Down House, the world-renowned scientist Charles Darwin’s family country house is always a must-see for anyone interested in science and evolution. Step into the study where Darwin wrote “On the Origin of Species,” take a stroll around the grounds that influenced him, and see his and spouse Emma’s newly renovated bedroom with views of the gardens.
Allow Sir David Attenborough to lead you on a multimedia immersive tour of the house, where you’ll understand how he came up with his ground-breaking theories. While you’re learning, step into Emma’s Kitchen for a delectable cream tea or a light dinner, some of which are influenced by Emma Darwin’s recipe book. Then take a stroll through the magnificent rural gardens, making careful to circle Darwin’s “thinking route,” the sandwalk, which he visited three times a day. This wonderful hidden gem is not to be missed. Come in today and have a look.
