This small museum is hidden away in the northamptonshire countryside ; it is full of WW2 and similar military artefacts ; the staff are knowledgeable and are glad to answer any questions ; I think young children may soon get bored but if it’s your sort of thing you may never want to go home ;

I would recommend this experience to anyone that has the opportunity to visit. I phoned prior to booking due to a couple of issues and all the staff I spoke to before and during my trip made me feel welcome throughout, they were all extremely friendly and helpful. As for the actual experience it's really well laid out with loads to see and do for all ages, you get to learn about the history of Silverstone and see so many different aspects of racing, the displays and information are clear and informative and there's almost too much to see in one go. There's also the added bonus of the heritage trail to walk on an old part of the circuit and if you're really lucky you might get to see some on track racing. Highly recommended ????
