Description
The Norfolk Tank Museum offers a hands‑on journey into military history with a special focus on 20th‑century and Cold War armoured vehicles. The collection features standout exhibits such as the prototype Centurion AVRE 165, the only remaining Crossley‑Kégresse 20‑30 cwt half‑track, and a replica British World War I Mark IV built for the TV show “Guy Martin’s WWI Tank.”
Visitors can also explore vehicles on public display, including a Chieftain Main Battle Tank and a Saladin Armoured Scout Car—both of which allow you to step inside the crew turrets for an immersive experience.
Additional highlights include opportunities to take a white‑knuckle ride in the Hagglunds BV206 All‑Terrain Vehicle on the museum’s off‑road course.
Facilities are designed for comfort and convenience: a tea room serves refreshments, the spacious grounds offer a picnic area and playground for children, and there is ample dedicated parking alongside disabled access to buildings and toilets. Whether you’re a military history enthusiast, a family looking for an interactive outing, or simply curious about armoured vehicles, the Norfolk Tank Museum provides a memorable, engaging experience.
