Oxford Bus Museum

Oxford Bus Museum tells the story of bus and coach travel around Oxfordshire over more than a century, using preserved vehicles, horse-drawn relics, ticket machines, bus stops and old timetables. Children tend to head straight for the buses, and on set days some of the vehicles can be boarded and free heritage bus rides run from the site. The Morris Motors Museum on the same site covers the cars and commercial vehicles built at the Cowley works, including a small collection of Morris and Nuffield-era models, photographs of the factory floor and a vintage pedal car. A separate display of historic bicycles adds variety for older visitors. There is a café and shop, a restoration workshop where work on the fleet can sometimes be seen, and a play area for younger children. The visit suits a relaxed afternoon for families, grandparents and anyone interested in transport history.
