Military museum and tourist attraction with free parking, disabled facilities and wheelchair access. NAAFI canteen wagon with seating area serving hot and cold drinks and snacks in season. Outdoor play area. Adults PS9, concessions PS6, children (5-16) PS4.The collection covers mostly World War Two with Tanks, vehicles and exhibits from the Boer War right up to the First Gulf War. Ranging from British Army, Canadian, American and Russian Forces - guns, helmets, artillery, grenades and bombs to Home Front ration books, gas masks, ARP and Home Guard uniforms etc. Large shop with collectors' items, inert ammunition, clothing, hats, badges, survival equipment, books, CDs/DVDs, toys and souvenirs. Only assistance dogs allowed in the buildings.
It is a great place to visit to see old military vehicles preserved in a great used condition. Also, many items from the WW2 period to support the displays. The roads off the main roads are typical Devon country lanes.
Me and my 2 boys found this by chance. A little hidden away place but it was a place to surprise and wonder. My boys were fascinated by all on display. The displays are set out so well plus there are things to watch or listen to, the makeshift bomb shelter with the sound effects was a real eye opener. They also seem to have arts and crafts days? We didn't get to do that as it wasn't running but that's what it looked like. A little cafe run from a converted van was awesome, lots of things in the shop that certainly aren't like your average shop! All in all, educational, interesting, doesn't take hours to get around so you can fit something else in before or after.
This place is massive and has so much stuff I don't think I even saw 50% of it as there are items everywhere you look. The collection is absolutely huge and has something for everyone. The tanks are something that everyone should see, if not to just appreciate the sheer size of them!! Attended during a memorabilia event and there was all sorts of items for sale. Perfect for people of all ages, loads of parking and lovely people. Can't wait to go back
This place is so crowded with items you can't see them properly and no explanation of what items are etc. everything covered with a thick layer of dirt and dust. Husband fascinated with war items but were ready to leave in 15 minutes. Definitely not worth the hair raising journey down too narrow roads having to reverse for long distances when you meet other cars. Wouldn't recommend
Excellent and eccentric collection from military toothbrushes to main battle tanks crammed into every available space. Several hours required to appreciate it all. Snacks and drinks available, and a wide range of militaria for sale to take home.
Quietly tucked away, private collection of military vehicles open to the public during school holidays. On site carpark, gift shop, snack and toliets
