Cliffe Castle is a beautiful mansion, once owned by the Victorian textiles millionaire H I Butterfield. Now it is a museum with a large range of exhibitions, including period rooms, fossils and minerals, antique toys and mounted birds and animals. There's even a two-metre long fossil newt.

Some of the exhibitions that children and parents can enjoy include Airedale: the Formation and Life of a Valley, which explains how the local geographic area was formed, and Working Landscapes, a journey into the lives of the region's first farmers 6,000 years ago.

Children under eight must be accompanied by an adult to the It's A Mystery family activity day.
