Bentwaters Cold War Museum

   At the end of July I was lucky enough to visit Bentwaters Cold War museum in Ipswich.

   It is £5 for entry, and is only open the first and third Sunday of every month due to it being volunteer-run (so quite restricting)! The museum itself focuses more on the history of the former airfield rather than the cold war itself, however one of the exhibition rooms does contain a wad of information about the build up to the cold war, the Cuban missile crisis, and the Vietnam war. A collection of planes are situated outside the museum, and there is also a little cafe.   

   I'm in the process of doing individual posts about the trips I've done over the last two months, so the next post will be about Saffron Walden and Audley End.
