The Norfolk Tank Museum

The Norfolk Tank Museum is a small independent museum displaying Cold War military vehicles, weaponry and tanks, situated at Bridge Farm in Station Road, Forncett St Peter, about three kilometres west of Long Stratton. Visitors can climb aboard and explore a range of vehicles parked on the site as well as sit in a Saladin armoured scout car or a Chieftain battle tank and even go for a ride in a tracked or wheeled military vehicle on the museum's off-road track.

The museum is adjoined by Bridge Farm caravan site and well worth a visit. For more information go to: LinkExternal link
