Lakeland Motor Museum, Newby Bridge

Visit in December 2013.

 

The Lakeland Motor Museum is well presented display of cars, vans, motorcycles, scooters, bicycles, some small aircraft and memorabilia. It's on 2 floors. The collection of motorcycles is very well presented. An annex contains the Donald Campbell display and next door is a good cafe overlooking the River Levens.

 

A free bus to Lakeside operates from outside the museum for the ferry to Bowness and Ambleside.

 

Less than a mile along a country lane is the Lakeside and Haverthwaite Railway which also runs to Lakeside and has a small collection of locos, a cafe and large car park.

 

A nice cluster of attractions well worth a visit.
