- We visit the D-Day Centre, Castleton, Portland in Dorset. A hands on museum where you can operate and hold the weapons, climb on board, try on uniforms and listen to the experiences of those who remember. Close to the slipway from where the troops embarked on D-Day. Thoroughly enjoyed, a truly great day out!

👍👍👍🤩🤩 excellent, really enjoyed that. 👌
Thank you
Looked really interesting 👍Poppy was ready for some lunch 🐕
Great trip round the D Day museum, good to see they let Poppy in, reminded me of Normandy museums , take care 😀
What awesome place I am putting that on our must visit when we are down that way thank you for sharing your wonderful video once again 🥂
Nice one Bob, castles and tanks , all well worth preserving
Visited the D Day beaches. Incredible bravery and sacrifice . Very striking at the end when you showed where so many had left from. Great video Thank you
Hi there you three...we really enjoyed the d day museum..that looked packed with articles..so interesting you do show us some brilliant places..thankyou both xx
Hi Both Another very Interesting vlog thanks for sharing Lin x
Yes Bob and Jenny! This place is superb. We've been all over Normandy to almost every D-Day museum, and we where of the opinion that this is the very best one you can do, and its right here in the UK. The very fact you can clamber in and out of vehicles, play with guns, put on uniform, it's the most fun few hours. Highly recommended if anyone is down that way.
Very nice and interesting places
Just come across this review of our D-Day Centre by chance. What a wonderful review, many thanks! The volunteer shown in the video is Joseph, his Great Uncle was an American in the 29th Inf Div who married a British woman prior to D-Day. He was killed on Omaha beach on D-Day and is buried in the US Cemetery in Normandy. My Grandad was also involved in D-Day with Bomber Command, RAF, bombing a gun battery at St Martin de Varreville on Utah Beach. I am so glad you enjoyed our museum. and that our passion to keep history alive and accessible is so well recognised by people like yourself. Thank you again for such a magnificent review.
Thank you. We really enjoyed this visit so much, especially around the pandemic. The D-day centre is doing a really important job there.
Thank you both for a very interesting video as always, take care 🇮🇲🇮🇲
Great video. Did not know that was there. Been to the one at Southsea, Portmouth way. That did look like a place worth going to in future. The history that was partly still there.
What a lovely video Bob and Jenny & popy know her way round one thing looks nice in there take care both you see you next time .
Thanks you three really enjoyed this video, very intresting,and a subject of great intrest to myself and many others i am sure
It is good to see that Poppy and her fellow pawed pals can go round. Steve would love it as he is very into military history. Take care Gill
Who on earth would thumbs down such an amazing vlog. Well done Bob, Jenny and indeed poppy. Our little westie would have been just like poppy climbing in all the exhibits. Keep it up your stuff is amazing.
What a great place. So much to see. I love that you can interact with things and actually get on the vehicles. Poppy is very good with other dogs. I wish I could say the same for mine. The food looked delicious too. Made me hungry again lol
Looks a really interesting place to visit. Our youngest son would love it as he's fascinated with history, especially surrounding WWI and II.
Thanks for great video again. 👍
thanks bob one to look out for when im down that way
We have been saving this one - fantastic video thanks for showing us around 🥰 we were away when you published it so clicked save to watch later 😁
What a great hands on museum, we have visited Normandy many times to see the wonderfully kept museums and memorials over there as both our Grandfather's were veterans but this looks really good as so hands on plus they allow dogs - definitely one for us to visit thank you Bob, Jenny and Poppy 😁👍
You're welcome, it's well worth a visit.
Hi Bob and Jenny thanks for showing this as we are going to Dorset this summer and would be ideal for Alfie. Cheers P&J
Yes, he would love it!
What a great museum x
Great video we've been over to France and visited places over there will defo be putting this on our list for this year great to see thay let dogs in chris &sheila
What a good looking place like that you can pick up the guns to see what they were like and I like your carmera van cab
Another great video guys 👍 lots of interesting things to see.. it’s really a shame that there’s a lot of closures in the hospitality industry 😔 they’ve really been hit hard with the lockdowns.. x
That was a really interesting place enjoyed it very much, expect all of you were worn out after your day.look forward to the next trip.
Rob Bell recently did a documentary on that area recently on tv channel Yesterday, it made me add that museum to my list of must visits. If you want some very very interesting museums you need to go over to France there loads of little WW2 museums in Normandy. They might only be a preserved bunker, or if you go up to Holland there’s the Overloon museum. Excellent museum, well worth a visit. Or in France theres the Pegasus bridge museum near Ouistreham, it’s got the landing points of the gliders in the field opposite marked by concrete memorials. It’s surprising just how close they landed to the bridge, no wonder they captured it. And the original bridge is preserved there complete with bullet marks. In Ouistreham itself is the Grand Bunker, it’s a massive bunker that was a firing control post, completely camouflaged and hidden in the town,, follow the signs to find it. Plus of course there’s Omaha beach museum, and the museum at Arromanches dedicated to the landings and Mulberry harbour. The guide there thanked our group for visiting and keeping the history alive.
Just saying in case you’re over in France and need something to look at. Loads of WW1 and WW2 museums. Oh and if you’re ever in Belgium near Ypres, go to the Menin gate get there for 8 in the evening, the local fire brigade have sounded the last post every evening at 8 since 1929. It’s a really emotional experience. The Menin gate is the memorial to 54,896 men with no known grave.
Sorry rambled a bit, but there loads of interesting stuff to see in Europe if you’re interested in WW1 or WW2 history.
Thanks, we went to Normandy in 2016 (before we were recording on RUclips) and visited Ypres, in 2017 and 2018, in our Euro Tours videos. We really must get back there.
Hi Bob and Jenny, really interesting video, really enjoyed it x
Great...interesting..👍🙂
The model of the lady at 6:29 looks like Catherine Zeta-Jones :-)
Yes in Darling Buds Of May
Didn't know about this one. Will try to visit next time we're in Dorset, probably stop at Moreton. Wife works for the mod so we get concessions. Will email her your video link to remind us as we're doing a Bletchley park to Christchurch then Finnish at Moreton Dorset in a month's time. Though we do like to use the buses and trains if possible to visit the attractions. Especially now I've qualified for my very own bus pass. Hehe. Great vids.
Great video again 😁
Looks great! I've only been outside so far, we couldn't find a parking space for our Motorhome close enough :-(
That's a shame.
We enjoyed your video, a very interesting place, the burgers looked good too! Could I ask you to consider a couple of things please; we are new to Motorhomes and have bought a 6m van as we were concerned about parking it when we visit places and do not intend to tow a car. I realise you very often use your car but we would find it very useful indeed if you could comment about parking a motorhome in the areas and places you visit.it is something we always think about when we are going out in ours.If you don’t mind could you, at times, mention the effectiveness of your SATNAV in choosing your route and how good it is in not taking you down narrow or unsuitable roads. I would image it other inexperienced motorhome users may find this of value too. Many thanks Paul and Vicky…keep up the good work👏
Thanks for your comments, I take your points, but you shouldn't have too much trouble parking a 6m motorhome. I do often mention if we would bring a motorhome and say if parking is available for motorhomes, but thanks for the reminder. Also I did a video a little while back about parking a motorhome. ruclips.net/video/sSFqZ2R7pgQ/видео.html
The D Day museum is ready marvellous
The barmaid looked like Gordon Ramsay in drag
She was scary
looks good another great vid Bob ..how many noticed the Union Flag on the wall is upside down?
I didn't. Our Scottish friend will always notice that. 😀
