Shoreham Aircraft Museum, in Shoreham Village near Sevenoaks, tells the story of the Battle of Britain and the pilots who lost their lives nearby. The museum runs an ongoing Local RAF Memorials Project, erecting permanent memorials to pilots who died within a ten mile radius of Shoreham, and is currently preparing a new pilot memorial, due to be unveiled in Spring 2027, marking the museum's 40th anniversary too. It's a fitting stop for anyone interested in wartime history, veterans' stories and remembrance. The museum is just half a mile from Shoreham (Kent) station, and with 16 bookable places to stay within 5 miles, it's easy to combine a visit with a short break in the area.
