Stonehurst Farm

Stonehurst Farm is a museum and farmyard in Charnwood that combines working agricultural displays with an extensive collection of vintage cars and motorcycles. The exhibitions spread across multiple buildings and show vehicles from different decades alongside traditional farming equipment.

The property began in 1851 as a working agricultural estate and gradually transformed into a public museum. This shift reflects how the rural region has preserved farming heritage while documenting the arrival of motorized transport.

The farm's name reflects the rocky terrain of the local landscape and its historical importance to the region's development. Visitors can observe traditional farming methods in action and see how the collections document techniques that shaped generations of rural workers.

The museum is open Tuesday through Sunday and offers guided tours, tractor rides, and animal interaction activities. Visitors should expect mixed terrain with some unpaved paths, and school groups can arrange educational programs.

The Duffin family assembled an impressive collection of veteran cars, vintage motorcycles, and motoring artifacts over five decades. This private gathering creates an unusual contrast with the traditional farming focus and tells the story of one family's passion for automobiles.
