This collection of war memorabilia is amazing, my husband and I took our three boys aged 5,9 and 16. They all loved it and so did we. They have items for sale, bullets, hats, ect... all at reasonable prices and they also have snacks and drinks. Would definitely recommend a visit, it's great!

Amazing collection, vast amount of items to look at from tanks, to guns, interactive bomb shelter and vehicles, clothing, helmets, genuine and legitimate items and artefacts which tell the story of certain people from world war 2. Great shop. Little cafe. Lovely staff.

Had a lovely morning here. Very interesting stuff. Took my two young daughters who really enjoyed it too. Very good exibits, very reasonably priced and a very peacefull location. The Anderson shelter was a hit. We all felt a bit "whoa, this must have been scary" would recommend.

Visited today,found it a great collection which could have come straight from the battlefield,all rustic with that old military hard wear smell,the memorabilia and weapons were really interesting.The pasty was tasty and staff very helpful and polite,the toilets were good Well worth the visit.

Really surprised me how many army vehicles they had, my 6 Yr old son loved looking into them and seeing the different shells in the floor. The place looked, smelt and felt old which is exactly how a historical collection should be, much more realistic than a tank in a museum on a polished floor. Pictures are just a few of the vehicles there.

A great place full of military vehicles, tanks, guns & much more. Only £9 to get in. A bit out in the wilds, how they got some of those tanks there I will never now.

A good insight into the machinery and mechanics of WW2. I visited with my young nephews and my daughters. The boys were bowled away and the girls also enjoyed it. Lots of vehicles from armoured cars, tanks and trucks but also push bikes and even a collapsible motor bike in a canister for air drops. They are all packed in quite tight but it does mean you can get right up close. You do realise that the vehicle crews were probably bruised every day working inside such tight metal confines. There is also lots of memorabilia and lots of weapons and well as a lot of information notices that gave extra details. There are a few light and sound exhibits like the Anderson shelter and some video display screens showing various films and photos montages. In all it was a good morning out and you do feel that by visiting you are helping to preserve these amazing pieces of history.

Big collection of military items, good exhibits but could do with a dusting and better explanations but can recommend.
