点评:Quite the multi-layered experience, Bircham Windmill is split into various areas:
1) The Windmill itself:
You can scale the Windmill going up throughout it's history floor by floor, being regaled by historical audio logs, wax statues and costumes showing off how life in the mill used to be. This has had serious money spent on it, and it shows.
(However access is via some very steep stairs. They have made it as accessible as it can be - I'm a hobbling arthritis sufferer and I managed, but there is no access for wheelchairs and your mileage may vary!).
2) The Bakery:
You can pay to bake your own bread in their kitchen! The process is split into various sections of varying times (some even take hours), so depending on how long you want to spend you might want to only do a fourth of the process, or if you want to do the whole thing, it's quite the experience! Really good family activity too as it gets the kids to make dog shaped bread and nonsense like that.
3) The cafe:
Absolutely lovely. Good food, good drinks, good atmosphere, and dog friendly.
4) A gift shop:
'Nuff said.
5) A historical archive of older footage and TV programs about Birchall:
This was fascinating and it could take hours to watch from the armchair they have in front of it. It was quite the nostalgia hit to see the old fashions of the time!
6) A Kid's Play Area:
Oddly I didn't use this but it looked OK!
7) An animal Treasure Hunt (you get stamps and everything)
8) A small plant garden
9) A small museum 'Beamish' style in the stables and cottages aside from the Windmill
All in all, it's got a lot of bang for it's buck and I can't recommend it enough!
翻译:伯查姆风车 (Bircham Windmill) 是一处层次丰富的体验场所,分为以下几个区域:
1) 风车本身:
您可以攀登风车,一层一层地了解它的历史,聆听历史音频,欣赏蜡像和服饰,感受昔日风车里的生活。风车的维护投入巨大,这一点显而易见。
(不过,风车入口处有一些非常陡峭的楼梯。虽然他们已经尽力做到无障碍通行——我患有严重的关节炎,行动不便,但也能爬上去,不过这里没有轮椅通道,所以每个人的情况可能有所不同!)
2) 面包房:
您可以付费在他们的厨房里亲手烘焙面包!整个过程分为几个阶段,每个阶段所需时间不等(有些阶段甚至需要几个小时),所以您可以根据自己的时间安排,选择只体验四分之一的流程,或者如果您想体验整个过程,那将是一次非常棒的经历!这也是一项非常适合家庭的活动,孩子们可以制作狗狗形状的面包等等,做出各种有趣的造型。
3) 咖啡馆:
非常棒。食物美味,饮品可口,氛围极佳,而且允许携带宠物狗。
4) 礼品店:
无需多言。
5) 伯查尔历史影像资料库:
这里非常引人入胜,坐在展厅前的扶手椅上可以消磨好几个小时。看到当时的旧式服饰,真是满满的怀旧感!
6) 儿童游乐区:
奇怪的是,我没用过,不过看起来还不错!
7) 动物寻宝游戏(可以获得印章等奖励)
8) 小型植物园
9) 风车旁的马厩和农舍里有一个小型博物馆,风格类似比米什博物馆
总而言之,这里物超所值,我强烈推荐!
