This museum had received many testimonials before we were able to visit… and, let’s face it, what’s not to like about a motoring museum, especially one that features collections reflecting the lives and careers of speed legends Sir Malcolm and Donald Campbell?
Plenty of parking as you would expect.
Well worth a visit if you’re in the area or passing by on a tour.
Car groups have dedicated parking alongside the restaurant (by prior arrangement).

This is a museum of many parts with something for everyone to enjoy. A time line of vehicle with extra displays of different periods. A 60’s street scene and a 30’s garage as examples. Collections of motorbikes, pedal bikes and cars and military vehicles. Plus a huge collection of automobilia. In a separate building are replicas of cars and boats of the Campbell family. Parking is good on a level tarmac area. Nice cafe for afternoon tea with huge scones to slake the largest appetite. All this and situated in the glories of the Lake District
