The Bubblecar Museum

Three-wheeled cars that look like they've escaped from a 1960s cartoon - that's what awaits at this oddball museum just outside Boston. The Bubblecar Museum is a proper labour of love, housing a collection of these impossibly compact vehicles that somehow convinced people they were a sensible way to get about. You'll see everything from the iconic Isetta to Messerschmitt Kabinenrollers, machines so small you'd struggle to fit a modern family's weekly shopping in the back.

It's the kind of place that appeals to anyone with an appreciation for automotive eccentricity - think engineers, nostalgia hunters, and the sort of person who finds genuine joy in mechanical oddities. Kids tend to get a kick out of how ridiculous they are, though don't expect them to stay entertained for hours. A good 90 minutes covers it properly.

The real charm is wandering between these tin-can contraptions, marvelling at how people genuinely commuted in them during the economic squeeze of the 1950s and 60s. Many are in remarkable condition, restored by people who care deeply about this particular slice of motoring history.

If you're camping at Big Sky Hideaway or Appletree Holiday Park just down the road, it makes for a quirky half-day diversion between exploring the wider Lincolnshire countryside. Not everyone's idea of entertainment, but if you're the type who appreciates the weird corners of British motoring heritage, you'll find it worthwhile. Nearer to Boston town centre than the major parks, so easy enough to slot into any itinerary.
