The Nelson Museum celebrates the life and times of Horatio Nelson, England's famous Naval hero. Explore Nelson's career, from his childhood through his famous battles to his tragic, heroic death, with our great displays and our hands-on activities. Try our hammock, play ship's games, examine cannon from Nelson's time or sit in our sunny picnic area. Avoid the rats and listen out for the cannon fire!
