I spent a weekend on HMS President as a Sea Cadet in 1981 learning morse code.

One reply I was reading (closed the App, disappeared!) an ex student at Trent Park referred to Wilfred Samuel. Really interesting so I looked him up. Article here

Hopefully, some day Trent Park will include a How to Get Here page on their website. Or ... let me guess ... it's a secret?

For the press preview, they put up signs from Oakwood station, which led straight to a forking of paths in some woods, with no indication which way to go. I chose incorrectly and ended up being 15 minutes late.

Hmmm, yeah, visitor attractions that want to attract visitors need to be a bit more proactive. Nearest bus stops and train stations, car park alternatives, walking times and signs placed at forks in the road. You're not trying to baffle the Wehrmacht now.

I have to say the US President fits some of our actual presidents some with checkered pasts.( it kind of looks checked.} At the clock museum one would hope the clocks at least one would be the correct time ( which they all probably are unless set specially for something) so you make it the church or train or go to tea on time.
