An old-style cobbled farmyard with stables, a forge, hen coops, pig sties, bits of old farm machinery and a varied collection of animals - Newbridge has it all. There are even stables containing a huge, fantastically ornate golden coach that looks as if it must have once been a pumpkin. And little boys will find much to wrinkle their noses at in delighted disgust inside the Museum of Curiosities, which is crammed full of strange and sometimes ghoulish specimens, among them a 'scold's bridle' - a belt to stop the mouths of witches and doomsayers.
