Read the informative signs located alongside the vehicles, which outline some specifics and historical context for the exhibits. Go back in time by visiting the recreation of a 1920s garage and a typical 1950s greasy spoon cafe.

What a Find! This is a well presented and very comprehensive motor museum with lots to see from humble old pedal cycles, motorcycles, to the land speed and water speed record holders of Bluebird...

Some quality vehicles on show, some vintage games to play too on the first floor. Well-behaved dogs allowed and our dog had a good ole sniff around the vehicles. It kept our wee ones entertained for the hour or so we were in there, including the display of toy vehicles and games. I loved the range and ages of the vehicles on display, but my only criticism would be the venue seems a tad on the small side, making it seem crammed full. The adjoining cafe and Bluebird exhibition were really nice. Being a Bond fan, I'd personally liked Bond vehicles, but I can't have everything 🤣

Raining in the lake district so paid a visit to the museum. I can honestly say the vehicles are in stunning condition and the staff very helpful. This place is worth a visit if only just to remind you how lucky we are today having vehicles that do 100,00 miles in comfort. I found cars there that my grandfather and father drove. Memories
