Lakeland Motor Museum

Lakeland Motor Museum, in Haverthwaite, Westmorland and Furness, Cumbria, is housed in a converted mill and brings together around 30,000 exhibits tracing twentieth-century road transport, including 140 classic cars and motorbikes. Highlights include a tribute to the record-breaking Campbell family and their Bluebird cars and boats, an automobilia collection, and recreated scenes such as a 1920s garage and 1950s café. Beyond vehicles, displays cover local history including gunpowder factories and woodland industries, making it a varied day out for families and motoring enthusiasts alike. It's open every day except Christmas Day and 11-15 January 2027, with last entry 4:30pm. You can combine a visit with a Windermere cruise, and with Windermere's Fellfoot beach just 1.8 miles away and 94 places to stay within 5 miles, it suits a relaxed stay in the area.
