Eileen Sheridan & Dave Moorcroft

This gallery celebrates two of Britain's most remarkable distance runners - Eileen Sheridan and Dave Moorcroft - both legendary figures in endurance sport. Sheridan, who set multiple world records in the 1950s, and Moorcroft, who dominated the 1980s running scene, have their achievements documented here in what amounts to a proper shrine to British grit and determination.

The collection includes race memorabilia, photographs spanning decades, and personal items that tell the story of what it took to push the human body to its limits. You'll find training logs, competition bibs, and records that show just how obsessive these athletes had to be. It's intimate stuff - the kind of detail that fascinates running enthusiasts and sports historians, but which might leave casual visitors a bit cold after twenty minutes or so.

Based near Southam in Warwickshire, it's worth combining with a wider tour of the area's parks if you're staying at one of the caravan sites nearby - Tinywood Homes or Hilltop Hideaways are within walking distance. Allow an hour maximum unless you're a serious distance-running buff. Opening details are thin on the ground, so ring ahead before visiting.

Walkers and running clubs will get the most from this. Families with kids under twelve? Probably not the main draw, unless you're raising the next generation of fell runners.
