This small museum tells the story of George Müller and the thousands of orphaned children cared for at the Ashley Down Orphan Homes from Victorian Bristol until the 1950s. Housed in one of the original orphanage buildings, it holds original artefacts and records, interactive displays and family activities, with a family history service for those tracing orphanage records. It suits visitors of all ages and typically takes around an hour to explore, though note it is currently closed following flood damage, with reopening dates still to be confirmed. The museum sits in Bristol, close to Redland station just 0.3 miles away, with Henleaze Lake beach 2.1 miles off, and plenty of choice nearby with 53 bookable places to stay within 5 miles.
