A "must" for Railway Enthusiasts!

The National Rail Museum at Shildon is "sister" to the NRM in York and as such has many interesting exhibits together with some Steam Locomotive "visitors", e.g Flying Scotsman. The lower car park has spaces for Disabled visitors and the whole museum is on the level, except for a couple of elevated areas which are easily "climbed" There is a shop and a cafe and two sets of Disabled Toilets which are easily accessed and spotlessly clean. Entry is free but there are Donation boxes at the doors The staff are all very pleasant and helpful.
