I would definately recomend the Stratford place. It is a near 300 mile 
round trip for me to visit but I would definately consider it as a day trip.
I have been there recently and it is very good.

I have my doubts
about the one in Sherborne. I presume you must mean what was "Worldwide
Butterflies" and later "Conservation Worldwide". I was there a few years 
ago and it was pretty poor. It has gone down hill in recent years. 
I have visited the place several times since the 1970's. The last time
I was rather disapointed. If you are passing by all means take a look
but I would not recommend a special trip.

The London place was fine when I was there quite a while ago.
