The Fleet Air Arm Museum in Yeovilton has the largest collection of
Naval Aircraft anywhere in Europe. You can go on board the
first British built Concorde and be 'transported' by a simulated
helicopter flight to the replica of the aircraft carrier HMS Ark
Royal. You'll experience the thrills and sounds of a working
flight deck and even see a nuclear bomb! Directions: 7 miles from Yeovil, located on the
B3151, just off the A303 near Ilchester.
This internationally
famous Grade I Listed ‘English Cottage Garden’ was designed by the
late Margery Fish, who’s wonderfully informal style dramatically
influenced gardening in the 21st century. Her magical creation
here at East Lambrook Manor still houses the Margery Fish Plant
Nursery and an extensive collection of hardy geraniums, while the
17th century Malthouse is the location for a multi award winning tea
shop serving lunches and teas every day. Directions:
3 minutes off
A303, signposted at South Petherton, follow brown signs to East Lambrook.
