Local before arrival
Anyone for cricket? And what better place to catch a game than in the sport’s official birthplace? These hallowed grounds have played host to some of the most important matches in history, and games continue to be held throughout the cricket season. For architecture buffs there’s the historic 19th century pavilion and ultra-modern Media Centre, casting its innovative shadow across the field. Sports nuts will likely be more interested in the museum, home to the tiniest, most fiercely sought-after prize in history – The Ashes.
