Duxford Air Museum (Imperial War Museum Duxford) is one of those places that grabs you the moment you arrive. Officially known as the Imperial War Museum Duxford, it's a sprawling site just south of Cambridge where aviation history takes centre stage. From iconic Second World War aircraft to Cold War jets and enormous commercial airliners, the museum is packed with things to see and do, whether you're a lifelong aviation enthusiast or just fancy a brilliant day out. It's hands-on, immersive and full of stories that bring history to life.

The site has a proud past—it was originally opened in 1918 as a Royal Air Force station during the First World War and remained active well into the Cold War. During the Second World War, it played a key role in the Battle of Britain, with Spitfires and Hurricanes flying from its runways. It later became a base for American fighter groups. The airfield was eventually closed as an operational base in 1961, but by the 1970s, it had found a new lease of life as part of the Imperial War Museum. Today, it houses a vast collection of aircraft and vehicles across several huge hangars, with live flying days and airshows that bring the place roaring back to life.

Around the museum, there's more than enough to fill a full day—or even a weekend. The village of Duxford itself has a charming, laid-back feel, with pubs, cafés and a real sense of history. Nearby you'll find the quaint village of Ickleton, with riverside walks and a beautiful old church, and just a little further on is the village of Hinxton, home to the Wellcome Genome Campus and the scenic Hinxton Mill. For National Trust fans, Anglesey Abbey isn't far—known for its lovely gardens and winter light trails. Wandlebury Country Park, just to the north, offers peaceful woodland walks with views across the Gog Magog Hills.

Wider Cambridgeshire has loads to offer. Cambridge is an easy drive away, full of historic colleges, museums, cobbled lanes and punting on the River Cam. Ely makes for a peaceful visit, with its striking cathedral and riverside charm, while St Ives and St Neots offer market town vibes and riverside paths. The Fens stretch out to the north, with nature reserves like Wicken Fen and Welney Wetland Centre offering fantastic birdwatching and big sky views. Whether it's history, nature or a bit of both, there's always something going on in this part of the world.

Getting to Duxford Air Museum is straightforward. It's just off Junction 10 of the M11, making it easy to reach by car from London, Cambridge and beyond. There's plenty of parking on-site, especially during major events. If you're travelling by train, the closest mainline station is Whittlesford Parkway, around ten minutes away by taxi, and from there you've got quick connections to Cambridge and London. Local buses do run nearby, and for flights, London Stansted is your nearest airport—just half an hour away. If you're flying in or out, it's an easy hop to and from the museum.

Cambridgeshire as a county is packed with contrasts—from the buzz of Cambridge city to the wide, open Fens that stretch for miles. It's full of history, from ancient abbeys and Roman roads to wartime airfields and stately homes. The landscape is ideal for walking, cycling and wildlife spotting, and the villages are full of independent shops, traditional pubs and quiet charm. It's not shouty or showy—it's just quietly brilliant, and once you start exploring, it's hard not to get drawn in.
