Places to Visit
From Wiki
Here you will find information on Events, Museums, Exhibitions, and collections where you will find Steam Cars, Veteran Vehicles and other Steam Vehicles.
Some have simple listings and links to their web sites, others have their own pages where you will find photos and more information.
Please if you have a recommendation or if you have visited somewhere and think it should be listed send details, and a report if you wish, to the Company Secretary.
So if you are out and about traveling the country - or beyond - there is no excuse not to take in a little steam on your way round.
