Lakeland Motor MuseumQuality Assessed
Overview
The onset of the twentieth century met a world that had not yet been introduced to the phenomenon known as the motor car. Today it is difficult to imagine a world without it. The museum exists to collect, preserve and interpret motoring heritage for the public benefit and to provide educational opportunities, whilst providing an enjoyable visitor experience via an awakening of motoring memories. The museum is for everyone and attracts visitors of all backgrounds. Those without a keen interest in motoring will enjoy finding out why so many people are so fascinated about the subject.

About the area
Cumbria's rugged yet beautiful landscape is best known for the Lake District National Park that sits within its boundaries. It’s famous for Lake Windermere, England’s largest lake, and Derwent Water, ‘Queen of the English Lakes', but other lesser-known areas in the south, such as the Lune Valley and the coastal towns, are secret gems of wide cobbled streets and rolling hills.
