The "War Drawing" pencil is certainly worth a look- it's really interesting and there is an accompanying video too! The pencil tip sculptures and jubilee pencil were also some of my favourites.

Worth a visit. Surprisingly interesting if small museum . Essentially one large room plus obligatory shop and cafe . Doesn't inspire a return visit but in terms of cultural heritage a must for one off

Lovely museum with some interesting facts. We went on a rainy day so there was a bit of a crowd but that didn't spoil our visit

Don't forget to personalise a tin of pencil from only £1 extra! But make sure you buy the right pencils as mine couldn't be personalised!

Great place. Exhibition ends in pencil shop, so close your eyes or you’re going to spend fortune there :-) Don’t forget to get personalised pencils .

The Pencil Museum features in a new book on mad museums by Hunter Davies and you can watch a film about it in the Lakes Life section of Lakes TV at http://www.lakestv.net

Not sure if this is due to this being an off-peak time but the museum is closed Mondays and Tuesdays (October 2023).

Lunch after looking around the museum and winning a prize in the quiz.

There is more to a pencil than I thought - apparently!

Some of the shots in the film arent colour balanced correctly...

The museum is dog friendly

If you are not a complete pencil enthusiast then this is not the place for you!
