World of Country Life

The Hall of Transport at World of Country Life houses over 40 steam engines, vintage and classic cars, plus the Reg Imray motorcycle collection. Many vehicles have appeared in TV and film, including pieces used in Downton Abbey and Mr Selfridge.

Part of a larger family attraction near Sandy Bay, the Hall sits alongside play areas, a museum of farming, animals and seasonal falconry displays. The venue publishes seasonal opening hours—check the official site before visiting.

A compact, vehicle-focused museum within a wider country-life attraction. Displays mix restored steam engines, classic cars and motorcycles with interpretive labels and occasional special exhibits.

Look out for:

• Reg Imray motorcycle collection and early motorcycles.

• Vehicles used in TV and film, with identification notes.

• A diversity of steam engines and restored classic cars.

• Indoor displays that make it visitable in wet weather.
