In a tiny country village just outside of London, lies Down House, the home of Charles Darwin. A visit the house is not just a lovely dose of countryside quiet, but also a fascinating journey into the life and character of the world's most famous scientist.
His home life was classic Victorian, complete with children running to and fro, sledding down the stairs, and games of backgammon every night. Tour his greenhouses, where he undertook so many experiments, and wander the garden path where he did so much of his thinking. An audio guide walks you through the furnished part of the house, and a self-guided exhibit upstairs tells you more about the man and his work.
