Our second Probus visit of 2022 took place on Thursday 7 July with a trip to the Lakerland Motor Museum near Lake Windermere. This time there were enough of us to be able to use a 16-sdater minibus, as you can see, and we had good weather into the bargain! The Museum houses a fascinating collection of over 30,000 exhibits that trace the development of road transport throughout the twentieth century - cycles, motorbikes, motor cars and automobilia. It includes 140 classic cars and motorbikes, all carefully assembled over 50 years and housed in a converted mill in the scenic Leven Valley.
Much more than just a
motor museum, it includes local history and period shopping displays and
authentic recreations. A picturesque riverside café completes the picture.
