Inside, you'll find exhibits celebrating this heritage, blending traditional craftsmanship with more modern innovation. It's a good fit for those curious about local industrial history and horology. The museum is run by friendly volunteers and opens only on Tuesdays and Saturdays between 11:00 and 15:00, with group tours available by arrangement. It's located in Warwickshire, close to Coventry station, just half a mile away, and with 32 bookable places to stay within 5 miles, it's easy to combine with an overnight stay.
