Gilbert White's House and The Oates Museum
Visitors can wander round the beautiful gardens in 30 acres of ancient parkland and marvel at the White family home, restored following the descriptions in Gilbert White’s own correspondence. Also check out the Oates Collection which exhibits two members of the Oates Family, pioneers and explorers of the natural world – most notably Captain Lawrence Oates, the brave explorer on Captain Scott’s team to explore the South Pole in 1911.
