English Heritage house in which Charles Darwin lived and worked, with an exhibition on the naturalist's life and legacy. One floor is furnished as it would have been in Darwin's lifetime and contains the desk at which he wrote 'The Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection'. The gardens have been restored recently to include some of the plants used for Darwin's experiments. An audio tour is narrated by David Attenborough.
