The origin of the Zoological Museum at Tring is the result of one man's obsession for collecting. That man was Lionel Walter Rothschild. Today, preserved as it was originally conceived, the Museum is a wonderful example of traditional Victorian mounted specimen displays. For 40 years, Down House was the quiet and secluded home of Charles Darwin - one of the world's most influential scientists. It is situated in the village of Downe in the picturesque North Downs countryside, just 16 miles from central London.
