Whilst returning from a short break in Cornwall. We diverted off of the main A30, through Wadebridge up to Davidstow. The museum is right behind the massive Cheese Factory. I am ex-military, so there were many things of interest to see. I paid £6 entrance...More

Great interesting place. A credit to the team who created the museum

What a great hidden treasure in Cornwall. Never realised what went on during the wars. Good displays and a great film on how it was all created and history of the airfield

Very interesting visit

Hubby was well chuffed when I suggested coming here whilst we were on holiday - this is the sort of thing he loves. Neither of us were disappointed. The exhibits were really interesting, and loved the touches of humour dotted around.

I don't know but I don't see why not. There is very little traffic and there are no signs to guide you as to propriety Bob

Are you still able to use the disused runways to learn to drive?

The museum does not own the runways which I believe belong to a farmer who keeps a flock of sheep on them. The museum probably know who to contact, maybe worth a phone call.
