Visitor Centre Weedon Depot — Local services in Weedon Bec

Very disappointed is all I can say. Although it is free to visit, there is still an awful lot of work to be done to bring it up to an acceptable standard.

There is a small collection of military finds but the information made available easily brings to life the reason the site was established. Free entry/parking, toilet and cafes onsite. Steps to the museum entrance are a little steep so be mindful if you have some...
