raf air defence radar museum

Really informative and fascinating museum showing how RADAR saved Britain. Took my elderly Dad and he loved it too - brought back many memories from the war years. Nice little tea room serving home-made snacks. Highly recommended.

Parents and Grandparent wanted to visit this place, I personally aren't overly interested in this topic and neither was my brother but I think it would be really interesting for children interested in the RAF etc. Upon entrance it looks very very tiny but infact it goes on for quite a while! Smaller children would probably stay entertained and theres buttons etc to pressI believe tours are available too and there is a lot of stuff there. Personally wouldn't visit again as not my area of interest and I think prices £8 for an adult are possibly a little pricey but a family ticket for £20 I suppose is fairly good value. I think there is also a cafe there, didn't try it but it didn't look anything too fancy

A fantastic hidden gem in the a Norfolk Broads. A labyrinth of rooms packed with exhibits and the icing on the cake has to be the darkened Cold War operations room where you can really immerse yourself in the history listening to the radio broadcasts of the era. The museum continues to develop and I've come across new areas on each visit. The cafe is good for a break part through your visit tea and carrot cake was great!

Any one with a loose interest in the Cold War period will find this very much worth a visit with people who worked there on hand to give heir stories and answer questions.

We stumbled across this almost by accident & boy are we glad that we did. It is a very interesting museum dedicated to the history of the radar installation at that site. it still has one of the original radar towers used in World War 2. I think it is one of the last surviving towers.The museum goes onto bring the story of the site all the way up to date when the site closed as an official installation a couple of years ago. I certainly would recommend this to anyone who like history, technology or ever wondered how do they do that.

This museum, which is a charitable organisation, is an absolutely authentic experience of air defence from ww2 to the present time. The Cold War operations room makes you realise how close we came to ww3.

A very nostalgic place to visit, it takes you back to the cold war days, the ops room is superb, just as it was when we were watching and waiting for an attack to happen!

We had a wonderful visit to the Radar Museum. Three generations of us decided to visit and we were all delighted! The total dedication of the volunteers who shared their expertise was key to the enjoyment of the visit. A very educational few hours which passed very quickly and enjoyed by us all. This museum is well worth a visit.

Tucked away amidst the Norfolk Broads is the ADRM. It provides a very interesting, informative and worthwhile visit.Highly recommended is the free guided tour which takes about 1.5 hours. This covers the period from the introduction of radar in WW2 until the conclusion of the Cold War. The guides are both knowledgeable and enthusiastic, worthy of special mention was the gentleman who covered the Cold War Ops Room. Make sure you allow plenty of time for your visit, 3 hours at least, apart from the tour there are many more exhibits to view. I failed to do this and will gladly returning to rectify my mistake.

We have been trying to get here for ages and finally did today.Great attraction with highly knowledgeable volunteers. Really impressive things to do and see. Only criticism is the original tour takes quite a while and feels at times like a lecture. However, when free to wander this place really captivated our interest.

Out touring on sunny autumn day, saw the sign and pulled in to check it out. When we finally left the sun was setting. Where did the time go? What a fantastic place to visit. The museum was fascinating if you like a dose of modern UK history and getting hands on with the technology that protected the country through the 20th century. Best if all are the wonderful guides - all volunteers! Knowledgeable and keen to talk about every aspect of the artefacts and the people who used them for real. Brilliant !

Went there and did a tour it was brilliant, so informative and the volunteer staff really know their history.I especially liked the Cold War room but all were brilliant.

Looking like a load of huts in the middle of nowhere, this place surprisesStaff are Excellent ! (and all volunteers) They explained everything perfectly, enthusiastically and also made complicated subjects, easy to understand.There is so much here - we were suprised and delighted and spent 4+ hours. Sure, a place like this could always be "improved" but looking at what they do with the limited income, its superb.Particular mention to the tour guides.. brilliant ++ Keep it up. The on site cafe is also perfectly in keeping with the museum.Summary:- Highly RecommendedOnly downside ? Not well signposted from major roads.

This is a hidden gem, if you are in Norfolk you can reach the Museum by car or on foot from The Broads near Horning. Check the map for footpath.Also check the website for opening times.The tour is fantastic, very welcoming, the volunteers love to chat, and a very well stocked gift shop with decent gifts, love the wall clocks. Being Norfolk tasty refreshments. Well worth a visit, just remember to check opening times.

Come to RRH Neatishead, formally RAF Neatishead, a grade 2 listed building during the war as a radar station and closed in the 2000's.For a history lesson on radar from the start up to modern times this is the place. Go on the conducted tour it takes about 1.5 hers and is really an advantage as you learn so much from qualified volunteers ,with plenty of exhibits to keep you interested. Finish with a cup of tea and cake in there cafe
