The Fleet Air Arm Museum is one of Somerset’s top attractions, showcasing the history of Royal Navy aviation with over 90 aircraft on display. From early flying machines to modern jets and helicopters, the museum brings naval aviation to life — highlights include the Concorde 002 prototype and the immersive Aircraft Carrier Experience, where you can step onto a replica flight deck and feel the sights and sounds of life at sea.

 

It’s a great day out for all ages, with interactive exhibits, family trails, and seasonal events. There’s also a café serving hot meals and snacks, a well-stocked gift shop, and an education centre.
