Milton's Cottage
Recommended by
Overview
A timber-framed, 16th-century cottage with a charming garden, the only surviving home in which John Milton lived and worked. He completed Paradise Lost and started Paradise Regained here. First editions of these works are among the many rare books and artefacts on display. The Grade II registered garden is worth a visit in it's own right.
