Cambridge Museum of Technology is an industrial heritage museum housed in a Victorian pumping station, open Friday to Sunday. You can see steam engines, explore the Pye collection, and learn about Cambridge's forgotten industries and early high-tech companies across the Pumping Station, Top Bay and Pye Building. It suits families, with hands-on activities for kids, and it's dog friendly too. There's a café on site, plus evening beer and pizza at the Engineers House. The setting is a riverside scheduled monument, cobbled and uneven in places, so wear sensible shoes. Based in Cambridge, it's handy for a stay nearby, with Cambridge North station 1.1 miles away and 42 bookable places to stay within 5 miles on BritStays.
