Brooklands Museum

Brooklands Museum in Weybridge is one of Surrey’s most dynamic heritage sites, celebrating the birthplace of British motorsport and aviation. Its most striking fact is that Brooklands was the world’s first purpose‑built motor racing circuit, opened in 1907, with steep banked curves that once hosted record‑breaking speeds. The site later became a major centre for aircraft innovation, producing and testing thousands of planes through both World Wars. Surrey Museums and GalleriesSurrey Museums and Galleries.
