Lonely Planet review

The 'home of cricket' is a must for any devotee of this peculiarly English game: book early for the test matches here, but also take the absorbing and anecdotal 90-minute tour of the ground and facilities, which takes in the famous Long Room, where members watch the games surrounded by portraits of cricket's great and good, and a museum featuring evocative memorabilia that will appeal to fans old and new.

Australian fans will be keen to pose next to the famous little urn containing the Ashes, which remain in English hands no matter how many times the Aussies beat them.

The ground itself is dominated by a striking media centre that looks like a clock radio, but you should also look out for the famous weather vane in the shape of Father Time and the remarkable tentlike modern Mound Stand.

There's limited disabled access. Call ahead for details.
