Aston Martin Heritage Trust — Attraction in South Oxfordshire

Our first impression was slight disappointment about the size of this museum, but you need to be aware that the exhibits are rotated and there are special displays as well, so it is definitely worth visiting again. Currently, there are six vehicles on display, some engines, trophies, Aston Martin history memorabilia, and model cars. Visits are arranged as guided tours only, so you will learn about Aston Martin as a company, development of their vehicles, famous races, and even the role in the Second World War espionage. All guides are very professional, knowledgeable, and will provide you with some little known facts and stories, so these tours are really worth every penny spent on tickets. Please reserve 1 to 1.5 h for your visit. The museum is based in the beautifully restored old barn building, and as the exhibition is on one level, it is fully accessible. I am not sure it it offers accessible toilets, as I have not used these facilities. There is plenty of free parking outside. Please make sure to carry your own water bottle in the hot weather, as there is no cafe on site. There is a tiny gift shop with some publications, cards, key rings, magnets, and stationery. You have to book tickets in advance and check carefully opening times, as there are very limited weekend openings. Extended summer opening times and every weekend tours could improve...

Why not 5*'s? Because the exhibits are either not labelled, or those that are can be too hard to read within the dim lighting. Deserves more, and the various trophies should be the first priority because they were impossible to identify. But still well worth a visit if you are a fan...

What a place! Utterly beautiful and unique cars, fantastically presented and supported by a range of awesome exhibits and displays. Dom, who gave the tour, is knowledgeable, passionate about the subject and a lovely, helpful, cooperative fellow. To top it all off, the 13th century tithe barn in which it’s housed is an exhibit in itself. A wonderful hour that I thoroughly enjoyed, utterly recommended for anyone who loves this classic brand and its...
