Good disabled access all level or lift. Watch yourself if you have a carer with you and are disabled as the last time we visited we were charged for myself who is disabled and my carer, but when I subsequently made enquiries by email I was told that a carer has free entry. Really enjoyable place, there is a time... More

Came here one very wet Saturday and found lots of different vehicles to view. Cars, models of engines, of all ages etc. Vehicles dating back to the 1900's to today's modern cars. A must for any car enthusiast. Are allowed to take photographs too. Cafe on site also. More

Great to see cars from all era's but I am a bit of a Landrover fan. Go on the Landrover experience I promise you won't be dissapointed, you get a feel as to what these vehilces can really do. More

A pleasant location in the country makes an unusual setting for the museum, though it's very close to Land Rover and Aston Martin design centres. The exhibits are much the same as you'd find in any motor museum and for my taste a little overcrowded. I also felt that the staff were a bit overzealous regarding the exhibits, we all... More

What a great day out! Even if your not that interested in cars you will still enjoy this day out. Loads of cars from all different eras- interesting memorabilia. The restaurant there was great - the sandwiches are a must have! - also serves hot food. An all round enjoyable day. More

He was absolutely enthralled with the collection of cars on display, and thought some of the concepts could carry into current designs! Maybe not as good as the big motor museum in Coventry (which...

I'm not really a car freak, but this is well laid out so you can see the development of the car, and there is lots of "we had one of those". Not only cars, and i did find the car cut in half fascinating. If you have ever wondered what a gearbox really is, that will show you. We will... More
