National Transport and Toy Museum

Lying somewhere between a treasure trove and a junkyard, this compelling and slightly disorienting museum covers a full century of memories. One man's hoard featuring hundreds of vehicles, from cars and motorcycles to fire engines and aircraft, is almost overwhelming in its abundance. It can feel like there is just too much stuff, but you can get up close to hidden gems like vintage 1910s and 1920s cars, firetrucks and ambulances. The toy collection is also enormous and includes display cabinets overflowing with Star Wars collectibles and many other well-known brands.
