Museum of Land Speed

The Museum of Land Speed (CofGâr) interprets the history of Pendine Sands and 20th‑century land‑speed attempts, presented in a purpose-built venue opened in 2023. The collection includes the restored Parry‑Thomas car 'Babs', displayed aligned with the racing line onto the beach.

Perched on the edge of the seven‑mile Pendine Sands, the museum links exhibits to the coastal setting. Practical visitor information, an accessibility guide and sustainable travel advice are available on the official CofGâr site.

A compact, well‑interpreted museum focused on land‑speed history and the local sands.

Look out for:

• The restored Parry‑Thomas car “Babs”, positioned to illustrate the racing line onto Pendine Sands.

• Displays on early 20th‑century record attempts, engineering and local context.

• Views and exhibits that connect directly to the beach and Carmarthen Bay.

• Interpretive panels, photos and artefacts from the Pendine era.

Best way to experience it:

Allow time to visit both the displays and the shoreline viewpoint; combine the museum visit with a walk along Pendine Sands and check the CofGâr site for the accessibility guide and current visitor info.

• Admission prices and concessions are published on the CofGâr site; check before you go.

• The museum sits at the beach edge—expect wind and sand on exposed days; dress accordingly.

• Contact 01267 224611 or info@cofgar.wales for queries during opening hours.

• Close to National Cycle Route 4 and local parking; see CofGâr for travel details.
