The Transport Museum (open weekends and Bank Holidays Easter-October) is adjacent to the site and Becketts Farm
Shop with restaurant is just a ten-minute walk away.
Its proximity to the NEC (only 13 miles away) makes it a handy base for exhibitions such as the Caravan and Motorhome Show. It’s also marvellous for those with an interest in our industrial heritage for there are stacks of fascinating museums.
