What to expect
Your guide will escort you through the family home, pointing out where McCullough developed her ideas and drafted her celebrated work. You'll see the tangible collection of objects she and her husband Ric gathered from around the world—pieces that informed her storytelling and decorated their living spaces. The tour covers how Norfolk's distinctive history and landscape fed directly into her writing, alongside anecdotes about her relationship with the island and its residents. Expect a reflective rather than grand tour; this is a domestic space, not a museum.
