The Sammy Miller Motorcycle Museum sits in the heart of the New Forest near Bournemouth, Dorset, and is home to around 500 rare and exotic motorcycles from all over the world. The collection was built up by Sammy Miller MBE, 11 times British Trials Champion, who kept them as a private collection until 1980 when he opened his collection to the public. It suits any motorcycle enthusiast, with an online shop of iconic motorcycle apparel and memorabilia, plus numerous events for the UK motorcycling community throughout the year. New Milton station is 0.9 miles away, Christchurch Bay beach is 2.2 miles away, and there are 59 bookable places to stay within 5 miles on BritStays if you fancy making a trip of it.
