British Balloon Museum (Newbury)
For a complete contrast, stop off a little further west at Newbury and wander around this colourful, quirky museum where you’ll find everything you ever wanted to know about hot-air ballooning – all under one roof.
National Horseracing Museum (Newmarket)
Drive northeast across country to the horseracing centre of Newmarket. The story of ‘the sport of kings’ unfolds as you tour this museum – the people and horses involved in racing. Tack up a model horse and find out about the daily routine in a trainer's yard then dress up in silks before weighing out and riding a horse simulator.
