I see that the Haynes book of lies museum is in your general neighborhood... Wondering if it's worth wasting an afternoon having a walk around. I'll be goofing around for a few days after IMM. "Typical" yank not caring about wasting fuel just wandering around aimlessly.  |

Well worth a visit, and we are only half an hour or so up the road so you can pop in for a cup of tea !
I think Guido will be popping down at some point too.

Anything else worthwhile nearby?
Bear in mind that I don't really care too much for "tourist" stuff... If admission is charged, I usually go running in the other direction. Most of it has been too "Disney-fied" for my tastes.
Decent museums/collections are about my only exception.
I generally try to shop, eat, etc. where the locals hang out.

Cider mills/factory tours, glorious countryside, Glastonbury and all the King Arthur stuff, seaside pubs.

If travelling down the A303 you might want to see Stonehenge -bit of a tourist trap - if late at night it is possible to park on one of the tracks nearby ad get a good view - and good atmosphere without the crowds ;D
Regards,
Allen

Haynes museum is a really nice one to lose a few hours wandering round. There's some Minis there. Their 'Red Room' is impressive.
