Waterworks Museum

The Waterworks Museum houses some of the oldest working steam pumping engines in Herefordshire.

Come with your children and trace the history of drinking water from the cave-dwellers up to the present day through wonderful working engines, superb display panels and guide literature.

Displays in the exhibition area are at a low-level so everyone can enjoy them. There are audio-visual displays, and hands on exhibits to pick up, touch and use.

Visitors can enjoy the wide open landscape and explore the Noel Meeke Heritage Water Park; here children and adults can interact with full-size devices for lifting, pumping, moving and filtering water which have been used down the generations. In a totally safe environment children can have immense fun and learn at the same time the difficulties of obtaining water in days gone by.
