- Pauline S1 contributionOn a recent trip home from Australia I took the tour of Friar’s Bush with my 8 year old son. Peter and Mark were amazing and we really enjoyed listening to all the stories of people long since gone. A highlight for my son was stories of grave robbers and being treated to some music on the tin whistle by the wonderful Mark. I highly recommend that everyone takes the tour, if we lived at home we’d be repeat visitors.
Thanks Mark and Peter ❤️Written January 31, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Lots of nice cafes nearby too! Only downside is side it that sometimes people don’t have their dogs on leashes.Written December 25, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- tomhenry3Bangor, UK7 contributionsI've been to Streamvale many times and on every occasion I'm 'blown away' by the experience. As a retired teacher I appreciate the educational content, as a grandparent I appreciate the fun which the children have and as a senior I always delight in the welcome which I receive. The young people helping on the farm are exceptionally pleasant and at the same time professional and hard working. The attention to detail makes this a visit I'd recommend for anyone and the special events on the farm are simply excellent and should not be missed.Written October 25, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Lesley MLondon, UK4 contributionsWe knew that there was no guided tour that day, but as the place was open we went to see it for ourselves. We found it so interesting seeing all the people who had been there, from all those who had died, and all the children with their ages, who had lived there. We were the only visitors so enjoyed seeing the various rooms and plaques, without interruption. On entering we were given a leavelet about Clifton House, which helped us enjoy the visit.Written July 31, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Our guide, Rua, was very patient with the kids who were fascinated by the plants and the stories behind them. For my part, the best bit was hearing about the age and habitat of some of the ferns - Rua was extremely knowledgeable and seems to love the job which made the visit special. I could have stayed there for hours, so will definitely be back in a few months to see all the new growth as promised!Written January 22, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Pub Monster NeilLiverpool, UK82,173 contributionsMy twin brother and I were pub hopping around this part of the city when we decided to drop by The Duke Of York Pub and what a great find.
Walking in and I knew I would enjoy my visit here, interior is spectacular, a solid wood serving bar dominates the main room, beautiful etched glass mirrors adorning the walls,stained glass windows, dark wood features, vintage advertising enamels adorn the walls and ceiling and there's plenty of seating options spread throughout this pub both inside and outside, its just a really good pub to unwind in.
We were greeted with a smile by a very pleasant member of the bar team, we ordered a Harp lager each ( Guinness Brewery ) and these were served in excellent condition being iced cold and sparkling and we just kicked back and took in the great pub we were in.
A big fan of this most famous of Irish beers, a golden, light and hoppy lager style beer bursting with taste and very easy to drink especially when served freezing cold as in this pub, it was just so good being in such a lovely pub enjoying a quality brew and sat with my twin brother ,best beer companion in the world.
We really enjoyed our beers in here before we moved on and although our visit was only fleeting for a first time visit to The Duke Of York Pub we had a great time.
The Duke Of York Pub is easy to locate along Commercial Court, a street and area teeming with pubs, bars, cafe's and restaurants.
Opening hours are;
Monday to Wednesday, 11.30am till midnight.
Thursday to Saturday, 11.30am till 1am.
Sunday, 11.30am till midnight.
