Shuttleworth Collection, Gardens & House

...a surprise around every corner

It’s time to make new memories, create special moments and enjoy a fun family day out.

"I only recently found this place existed and am very glad that I did. There is so much to see including the beautiful Swiss Garden, woodland walk and, of course, the stars of the show: the plethora of vintage aircraft and motor vehicles in very well laid out, easy to navigate 6 (yes 6!!) aircraft hangars. "

The Collection

Wander among a treasure trove of early 20th-century aircraft. Wonder at the bravery of the pilots who actually dared climb in to these structures of skinny struts and stretched canvas. Watch out for the drip drip of oil onto floor trays – those are the aircraft that have recently been out flying.

Swiss Garden

Which corner of this quirky garden will be claimed as your favourite? Will it be the brightly decorated Indian Kiosk or the tiny thatched Swiss Cottage? Perhaps the Grotto with its tunnel of artificial volcanic-style rock?
