Haynes Car Museum, boy hood dreams and nostalgia all in one place, a great day out for the family.




Haynes Car Museum - Sparkford Yeovil 

I’ve enjoyed Haynes for many years, as a boy with my dad and now I'm the dad taking my son to enjoy the experience and create memories. 
There is a very nice atmosphere and it’s got lots to offer the children, my son Max always has a great time when we visit, the kids play area has a vast array of things to do from go Karts to pedal trikes to wooden houses to explore. 
The café is nice with a selection of hot and cold snacks and the weather permits, seating outside. 
The prices are reasonable which was a nice surprise. 
The reason for our visit this time was the cover photo, the Iconic and legendary Lamborghini Miura. I had never seen one before but been wanting to for a very long time, being a devoted Lamborghini fan. 
The Miura was on loan from a collector, so if you are planning a visit, best to check that they still have the Miura. 
Haynes offers free unlimited revisits for a year upon purchasing a full price ticket which is great for the family and allows you to really enjoy all of the exhibits, but also the children will want to go back to the play area for sure. 

Brief History
Haynes opened in July 1985 by then Land Speed Record holder Richard Noble OBE. Since then the collection's international theme expanded as vehicles from around the globe were acquired increasing numbers from a humble 29 to nearly 400 in 30 years.

From the original Mini to a Lamborghini Countach, Haynes has a wide and impressive collection that ticks all of the boxes.

Stirling Castle and the William Wallace Monument, the best start to our Scottish Castle Tour

STIRLING CASTLE AND THE WILLIAM WALLACE MONUMENT First stop on our Scottish 4 day Castle Tour (by car) Stirling Castle seemed familiar to me, mainly, because it reminded me of Edinburgh Castle, a very impressive position perched atop its intrusive crag, well preserved also, we really enjoyed our visit with lots of different areas to see and explore. The views are stunning and stretch as far as the eye can see in all directions, the location of the castle was no accident. You can see Bridgehaugh, right next to Stirling Old Bridge which was the site of the battle of Stirling Bridge where in 1297 William Wallace defeated an English army.  With its place in history, we had to visit on our trip. Whilst in Stirling, we ignorantly stumbled across the William Wallace Monument, due to its unique shape, design and significance we found it to be another highlight of the trip. It’s a must, it’s quite daunting when you climb to the top and realise how high up you are. The views are very impress...

Thinking about Lostwithiel Cornwall? Check out our best 10 attractions including Spectacular Beaches with photographs.

         Location, Location, Location   This visit to Cornwall was a business trip, so we chose The Fowey Valley Hotel in Lostwithiel due to its ideal location for us, although Lostwithiel is a small town it’s location is well positioned if you plan on visiting the local scenic quaint harbours and beaches.  The Fowey Valley is a very reasonably priced hotel with good facilities, and comfortable furnishings, the food was very good, both the evening meal and breakfast with a good selection.                              We found the staff very efficient friendly and accommodating. There is plenty of free parking on site, but make sure you remember to register your car at reception to avoid fines.  We visited the following places before we ran out of time. - Looe, 26 minute drive - Polkerris, 15 minute drive ( a lovely place to enjoy a warm evening either in the Rashleigh Arms...
