Cotswold Motoring Museum & Toy Collection

It was founded in 1978 and brings together cars, motorcycles, bicycles, caravans and motoring memorabilia from the 20th century, from period road signs to the kind of everyday vehicles many visitors remember from their own childhoods.

The toy collection runs alongside the cars, with pedal cars, model kits, Meccano and tin toys. The museum is also home to Brum, the little yellow car from the children's television series, who appears in the programme's opening titles. The exhibits are spread across a series of rooms, roughly eight according to visitors, and the route ends in a gift shop. Most people spend about an hour inside, and some reviewers note that the displays are packed closely together.

It makes a good indoor option for a wet day in the village. The Model Village is about 310 metres away and Birdland Park and Gardens roughly 630 metres, and the river and the main street are a minute or two's walk. Check the museum's own website for current opening times and admission before you go.
