Portsmouth Historic Dockyard

 The Historic Dockyard at Portsmouth is a naval museum dedicated to the glory days of the British Royal Navy. Its most famous exhibit is arguably HMS Victory, that served as Lord Nelson's flagship during the Battle of Trafalgar.

The museum is located next door to Portsmouth Naval Base, so with a bit of luck, you can also get a glimpse of the Navy's current fleet of aircraft carriers.

The Great British Road Trip - Blenheim Palace and Warwick Castle

 Welcome to another episode of things to see in Britain. From an 18th century English Baroque monument to a medieval castle complete with towers and dungeons.



The Bubblecar Museum

 A relatively small establishment dedicated to microcars. It's located in the village of Langrick in Lincolnshire, well off the beaten track. Admission was a surprisingly reasonable £4 for which you get to see about 50 exhibits.

My only complaint is that none of the cars had labels with basic info like make, model, specs, short description etc. as one would find in any other museum.
