Review
Before putting together these great books, I had done a lot of visiting around tourist attractions with which I have got a great affection for. I will always stand by the statement that a Top 100 Attraction is one that is still on your mind long after you have visited it. The Belleek Pottery Visitor Centre is a fine example of that statement. John Caldwell Bloomfield in my mind is right up there with the likes of John Cadbury and Lord Leverhulme. Not only did he have a passion for pottery but he also had a great passion for his local community for whom he provided much needed work. I absolutely loved my time here and I found it all so interesting. Not only do they have a great museum but their pottery tour was amazing. Together with a great shop and tearoom, I'm sure you will also enjoy your visit here.
