Which motor museum - Gaydon or Haynes ?

[rayny]

I have a few days off work and intend to spend one of them having a day out at either the Haynes Museum in Sparkford or the Heritage Motor Museum at Gaydon.

Actual visiting time will be about three or four hours including lunch.

Any thoughts as to which one I should go to?

Many thanks folks,

I'm a bit of a slow walker, it would take me 4 hours to cover what others would do in 2 hours, so Gaydon would be OK.
However, special thanks to those who reminded me about Brooklands - I had a great time at Mercedes World earlier this year but did not have time to 'do' Brooklands as well.

Thanks to your reminders I shall be going to Brooklands tomorrow as it gives me a relatively short drive up there, time to have a wander around and enjoy some lunch, then time to find an interesting route home to Hastngs.

OK - Brooklands on Monday = Great open air wander around, with some interesting machinery in various buildings.
Haynes on Wednesday = A bit claustrophobic but a chance to see some of my boyhood dreams on show.
Spent too much on petrol so will give Coventry a miss, but if the good weather holds out I may get to Beaulieu on Friday
