Up early Sunday morning and drove down the M74 /M6 to the.   lakelandmotormuseum.co.uk    at the bottom of Lake Windermere. Well worth a visit. lots to see. A brilliant clear drive down to about 20 miles from the place then the heavens opened .It was like that all day. Spied a nice Imp Californian in the car park just as I was leaving. Coming home today I cut across country on the A66 to Scotch Corner to visit friends. Diabolical, Heavy wet snow, low cloud, I've had better viz snorkeling. But we made it home. I think that's it for this year as far as longish runs are concerned, but you never know.

I keep trying to persuade the wife and kids to go whenever we stop up that way in the caravan, but they all say no....

Really good museum.

We went during the summer this year.

 

Great collection of cars, motorcycles & bicycles. Café is nice too.

+1 from me

 

best place in the lakes for me, and would agree, make a day of it with a trip on the railway.

If anyone finds themselves at a loose end in Eindhoven I can highly recommend the DAF museum.

 

Quirky , interesting,  and worth every euro .
