National Trust - Arlington Court and the National Trust Carriage Museum, Historical carriage museum at Arlington Court country estate in North Devon, England.
The National Trust Carriage Museum exhibits over 40 horse-drawn vehicles, ranging from elegant state coaches to simple servant carts in restored Victorian stables.
The museum collection started in 1964 when the 6th Marquess of Bute donated eight carriages, forming the foundation of this national transportation heritage collection.
The exhibition reveals the social structure of 19th-century Britain through its display of different carriage types used by various social classes for travel.
The museum provides electric vehicle charging points, adapted restrooms, and wheelchair-accessible paths throughout the estate and carriage collection areas.
The collection includes the Antrobus Travelling Chariot from 1814, which transported Colonel Antrobus to the Congress of Vienna during European peace negotiations.
