South Lakes Free Rider, Lakeland Motor Museum
Not one of the exhibits at the museum, this South Lakes Free Rider Dennis Dart/Plaxton Pointer (W562 JVV) is used to provide a shuttle service between the Lakeland Motor Museum, at Backbarrow, and Lakeside for connections with Lake Cruises and the Lakeside and Haverthwaite preserved steam railway.
The Lakeland Motor Museum
The Lakeland Motor Museum houses a collection of classic cars, motorcycles, bicycles, pedal cars and motoring related items and memorabilia and an exhibition dedicated to the land and water speed record activities of Sir Malcolm Campbell and his son Donald.
The museum was originally established at Grange-over-Sands in 1978 as an extra attraction for the Holker Hall stately home. After more than thirty years at Holker Hall, the museum was relocated to the site of the former Reckitt's Blue Dye Works carton packaging sheds at Backbarrow in 2010.
