The Muckleburgh Collection

United Kingdom / England / Sheringham /

The Muckleburgh Collection is a military museum sited on a former military camp at Weybourne, on the North Norfolk coast, England. It was opened to the public in 1988 and is the largest privately-owned military museum in the United Kingdom.

The Muckleburgh Collection is home to The Suffolk and Norfolk Yeomanry collection, the Norfolk St John Ambulance archive, the North Norfolk Amateur Radio Group and numerous special displays. The vehicles, museum site, and its unspoilt 300 acres (1.2 km2) has been used for television films, documentaries and dramas.

The museum offers rides in a Gama Goat and hosts "tank driving" (the FV433 Abbot SPG). Among the 16 working tanks are Panzer P-68, Chieftain and Stuart M5A1, Soviet T-55 and Canadian-built Sherman tank.
