Pendine Museum of Speed

The museum contains exhibits of land speed record vehicles, racing memorabilia, and photographs documenting speed achievements on Pendine Sands throughout the decades.

The museum opened in 1996 and received a complete reconstruction in 2023, replacing its original building with a modern facility at a cost of 7 million pounds.

The collection includes the restored Babs racing car, which set speed records in the 1920s before its tragic accident and subsequent burial in Pendine Sands for 42 years.

Located 8 meters above sea level, the museum welcomes over 33,000 visitors annually and offers different admission prices for adults, children, and group bookings.

The facility stands directly next to Pendine Sands, where numerous land speed records were established, including attempts by Malcolm Campbell with his Blue Bird car.
