Looking to avoid the chains in the Peak Distruct and the UK?

For a great getaway in Ghent, the Museum of Industrial Archaeology and Textile shouldn't be too far off the top of your must-sees.

And a visit to the Belgian attraction will not only prove entertaining but also educational as tourists can delve into the history of the country's technological development.

Starting from the 18th century industrial revolution, tourists can find out how the increasing use of machinery affected the lives of everyday people.

Meanwhile, a reconstruction of a film theatre allows the opportunity to take a step in the early 20th century.

There are also weaving demonstrations, an authentic mustard mill and an art nouveau style cafe.

Visitors will also have the chance to go on a guided tour where they will be able to learn even more about this fantastic museum.

Of course there are numerous other things to take in while visiting the Belgian city including St Peter's Abbey and the Museum of Contemporary Art.
