So Saturday, when we went to Grasmere we also took a trip to Keswick to visit another place I remembered visiting with my mum ... The Pencil Museum.
The museum is home to the worlds first pencil, the longest coloured pencil, a giant, an escape artist’s pencil and much more. The museum explores, as you would expect the history of pencils and in particular the famous Derwent pencils. Hubby really likes history so the displays were right up his alley whilst me and the boys completed an activity form (with our free Derwent Pencils). They enjoyed playing the games they found and exploring all the different types of pencils including watercolours. They requested some in the shop but the cheapest ones in store were around £20 and therefore a little out our price range!
