Excellent place to take the family. Many different events over the year. My favourite being the Ploughing Festival in October of each year

This is a great museum preserving the heritage and educating all minds old and young. The stream engines of Allen and Mireel are both well preserved, looking shiny and proud at their past achievements. It's run by a team of dedicated and knowledgeable volunteers. We also got a hand-held pad to tell us more about each artefact. I have been wanting to visit here since before the covid, and the wait is well-worth it. The photo shows a piece of Fenland humour at its entrance.

The engine museum in Prickwillow is simply an amazing little museum. I learnt a lot while visiting and got to enjoy a nice cuppa afterwards. All the staff were welcoming and friendly.7/7 would recommend a visit to anyone interested in the history of the fens or diesel engines.

Listed as the 11th best thing to do in Ely on TripAdvisor, this place is #1 in our hearts. A quaint museum that goes over the history of draining the fens, they also do Engine runs! May or may not be haunted. Wish they made hats. 10/10.

Really nice place to visit,nice pleasant people staffing a lovely museum that tells the history of Fen land drainage from wind power through steam to diesel. Comfortable to walk round and will be returning to see the ploughing festival.Well worth a visit and highly recommended. Nice little coffee shop.
