RAF Jaguar

This modest museum in Norfolk tells the story of the Jaguar fast jet through photographs, artefacts, and cockpit sections that actually flew. It's housed in a converted airfield building near Fakenham, and while it's not large, what's here is genuinely interesting if you've got even a passing interest in Cold War aviation or British military history.

You'll spend a solid hour going through the displays - maybe ninety minutes if you chat with the volunteers, who often have real flying experience and actually know what they're talking about. Kids find the cockpit reproductions engaging enough, though it's not the sort of place that'll keep under-tens entertained for long. Adults, especially those who remember the 1970s and 1980s, will get more from it.

The museum works well as part of a Norfolk holiday rather than a standalone trip. If you're staying at one of the glamping spots or caravan parks around Fakenham - and there are several within a few miles - it's a sensible wet-weather option or a couple-of-hours diversion before heading to the coast proper. Pair it with a walk around Fakenham itself or time at one of the bigger Norfolk attractions nearby.

Best to ring ahead before visiting, as opening hours aren't always predictable. Admission is reasonable when it is open. Worth a stop if you're in the area and the weather's turned, but don't make a special journey just for this.
