This museum showcases a collection of military and civilian aircraft, helicopters, and aviation artifacts, with exhibits including a replica of a World War I Sopwith Camel, a Spitfire Mk XVI, and a Cold War-era Bloodhound missile.
Free! The volunteers who run it only ask for a donation, but no pressure. Delightful place to idle an hour away. Worth going in even if you are not interested in Military History, for the far reaching views from the top of the Martello Tower.
An absolute gem of a museum. I felt like I had stepped back in time. to be able to view all these artefacts and local stories in the atmosphere of a martello tower. 3 volunteers, dressed in uniform, welcomed us in for free. This amazing little museum is financed only through donation. Well worth the trip.
This place is a hidden gem! I've lived locally for 40 years and only found out about it recently. The staff/volunteers are very friendly and knowledgeable. There is a nice variety of items in the exhibit. The museum is located in an old Martello fort. If you're comfortable with tight and twisty steps, you can venture onto the roof to see views of Point Clear, Mersea and Brightlingsea. There is a small gift shop just inside the entrance. The opening times are short, so check before travelling.
I've seen a lot of stuff from the war time. A great view of the area and sea from the rooftop.
Lovely little museum, run by very nice friendly staff ( volunteers). Lots of very interesting artifacts. Presented well. Advise walking to it if nearby. Roads horribly pot holed.
Opened today Bank Holiday Monday for the first time in months Free and packed with stories of bravery and courage well worth a visit and it's FREE! Normal opened Sundays they hope.
