Amberley Museum is a 36 acre open-air site dedicated to the industrial heritage of the south-east. Aided by volunteers, the Museum contains a wide range of exhibits, from transport-based collections, such as the Southdown bus collection and the village garage, to industry-based collections, such as the Print Workshop and Wheelwrights. The Museum is also home to a number of resident craftspeople, who work to traditional methods.

 

 

 

 

Amberley is home to a number of resident craftspeople, who work to traditional methods. They include a Potter, Blacksmith, Foundryman, Broom Maker, and Walkingstick Maker. The Museum is home to a large collection of narrow-gauge railway locomotives, rolling stock and other equipment, plus an extensive track network across the 36 acre site.  Amberley is home to a number of important architectural structures, some initially built on site and others carefully dismantled from elsewhere and rebuilt at Amberley. After over a century's use as a chalk quarry, Amberley's 36 acre grounds have long since been beautifully reclaimed by nature. Not only in the heart of the South Downs National Park, the Museum is home to its own distinctive ecological world.  The Museum is home to a wide range of orchids and flowers, such as the fly orchid pictured, which can be seen in bloom at various stages through the season.

 

The Limeburners Restaurant is licensed for up to 200 people and built to the style of a Sussex barn. 

Museum Gift Shop contains a wide range of books, children's toys, local produce and many other items - ideal either as a gift or memento of Amberley.
