Andrew’s guidebook
Art
A wonderful collection of paintings, flemish landscapes in particular but also a worthy sample of 19th and 20th century paintings. There is always something different to look at, they also have some excellent temporary exhibitions.
I also particularly like the ceramics and Egyptian antiquities.
Also a good cafe.

Aircraft from 1914 up to the present day from all parts of the world, they have an exceptional American hanger which manages to fit a B52, also a solidly matt black spy plane.
Also a superb tank collection including Montgomery's caravan from the western desert.

Superb beer, brewed on the premises in a quirky set of old industrial buildings next to the railway. A little hard to find but worth it.
