County Classics Motor Museum

The moment you walk into County Classics Motor Museum near Taunton, you're confronted by decades of British motoring history. Classic cars fill the showroom - proper vintage stuff, from post-war saloons to the sort of vehicles your grandparents might have owned. If you're into motors, this is time well spent. For kids, it depends entirely on their age and enthusiasm. A five-year-old might get restless after thirty minutes. A fifteen-year-old obsessed with cars could easily spend two hours here.

You'll see everything from everyday family runabouts through to more unusual models. The collection gives a real sense of how automotive design has changed - the proportions, the materials, the engineering. There's something oddly nostalgic about seeing how ordinary these cars were once, before they became museum pieces.

Family groups camping at Cornish Farm Touring Park just 1.7 miles away could slot this in as a convenient half-day outing. It's not a massive attraction - you're not looking at a full day here - but if you're already in the Taunton area and you've got a car enthusiast in tow, it's worth stopping by. Ashe Farm Caravan and Camping Site and Holly Bush Caravan Park are also within easy reach. Opening hours and admission fees aren't listed online, so ring ahead before you visit. The museum isn't a jaw-dropping experience, but for petrolheads and anyone with a soft spot for heritage vehicles, it scratches that particular itch rather well.
