I visited the Bond Museum with my wife last weekend and we were enthralled, not only by the memorabilia that formed the exhibition but the enthusiasm of the management and the additional facts they were able to pass on - well worth the trip to Keswick for anyone remotely interested in Bond - had a great time.
