If they are into photography Mifsuds is worth a visit although it must be 20 years since I bought my medium format film kit there. |

Open Mon & Sat 10am – 2pm & Tues to Fri 10am 4pm Edit- it's a couple of years since we went down, but they were open Sunday 10-2 I think, but closed one day in the week. Amazing how the independents are able to carry on. Always reminded me of a very clean and very tidy version of Nicholas cameras... |

View Attachment There is a Golden Hind docked in London very close to Borough Market, as far as I know it is full size and tiny so I would not be surprised if the one in Brixham is indeed full size. When we went on it the kids were 10 and 13 at a guess, they had no problems with walking around below deck but at 6 ft I found it a little low.

Low tide April 2008 (obviously the last time I was there). I don't think that I even noticed that it was out of the ordinary - it doesn't stand out like it does in your picture  IMG_0168.jpg by Pete, on Flickr |

According to goldenhind.co.uk/ it's a full size, five deck replica. Still too cramped for my liking |

I was on that one when it visited Northern Ireland many years ago. I think I was about 11 and still managed to bump my head when below deck. |
