Bentley Wildfowl and Motor Museum

Bentley Wildfowl and Motor Museum

The Bentley Wildfowl and Motor Museum is located in Halland, East Sussex, England. It is an excellent destination that combines a wildfowl collection, a motor museum, a villa estate, and gardens, and is open to the public.

The grounds of the Bentley Wildfowl and Motor Museum were purchased in 1937 by Gerald and Mary Askew. After World War II, the couple began developing the house and gardens and started keeping wildfowl. Gerald Askew passed away in 1970, and Mary Askew donated the property to the people of East Sussex. She continued to live in one of the houses on the estate. Thanks to its beautiful natural surroundings, the site gradually evolved into a tourist attraction.

The Bentley Wildfowl Reserve was established in 1962 and covers an area of 23 acres, featuring several winding paths. It is home to 147 species of wildfowl, including common ones such as swans, geese, and ducks, with flamingos and cranes added in recent years. Among them, the black swan from Australia is the most popular bird here. The Bentley Motor Museum was established in 1982 and showcases a large collection of classic luxury cars, including vintage automobiles and vehicles from the Edwardian era. Many of the cars on display have been loaned to the museum by private owners who wish for more people to see and appreciate these fine vehicles, so the car exhibition is constantly changing.
