Read All ReviewsThis was our second visit as we had been here before but with small children so had no chance to read everything. Overall a good place to see with toilet facilities, a small shop, cafe and plenty of information. There is a wide selection of vehicles, bikes, a few buses, a tank etc. The cafe is about average in price and serves soup, sandwiches, cakes and drinks. The museum is also accessible to wheelchairs and mobility scooters. Outside there is a childrens area, a steam engine and a few benches to sit and today, take in the sun. There is disabled toilets and access too. Overall accessible place to visit.
