The Riverside Museum is Glasgow's transport museum, home to classic cars, ship models, trams, locos and the tall ship, SV Glenlee. There is also a walk-through recreated Edwardian/Victorian Glasgow street scene.
Heritage railway on the Isle of Purbeck. The Wareham-Swanage line was closed in 1972. Thanks to local support and the efforts of volunteers, the Swanage Railway is probably the best thing in town and ran its first service in 1979. The frequent service runs about 6 miles between Swanage and Norden, via Corfe Castle. Â Journey time between Swanage and Corfe is about 20 minutes.
Picturesque Thurne Dyke Mill was built in 1820 and was once used for drainage. It is privately owned by the nearby Wind Energy Museum and has limited opening from April to September.
Tower Bridge, often confused with London Bridge, is one of the capital's iconic landmarks, known all over the world. It was built between 1886 and 1894 and connects Southwark on the south bank of the Thames with Tower Hamlets on the north, on the eastern edge of the City of London close by the Tower of London. Visitors can tour the Victorian engine rooms, see an exhibition of the bridge's history and even cross a glass walkway 138 feet (42 metres) above the river. Private tours are also available. But of course you can simply look at it, or cross it, for nothing. Visit its website to check out times when it will be raised.
A collection dedicated to wind energy (as it says on the tin), based on the collection of Ronald Morse and set in almost 3 acres. The exhibits are mostly outside. The museum has limited opening and also owns nearby Thurne Mill.
