Avro Heritage Museum

Avro Heritage Museum in Woodford is a short 20 minute drive from Macclesfield.

It preserves the legacy of Alliott Verdon-Roe and his company A.V. Roe & Co (Avro). Located on the former Woodford Aerodrome near Stockport in Cheshire, the site saw the production of famous aircraft including the Lancaster, Vulcan, Nimrod and BAe 146.

The Avro Heritage Museum is packed with fascinating exhibits and is home to the only example of an all-white Vulcan bomber. There is a whole host of activities on offer at the Museum including:

Cockpit tours
Hunting submarines on a genuine Nimrod tactical station
Flying a Vulcan on our flight simulator
Embarking on a WWII bombing raid with our state of the art virtual reality suite.

The Museum also has a café on site which offers fantastic views of the mighty Vulcan bomber as it stands proudly outside.

The Museum is entirely self-funded, relying on admission fees as its main source of income and staffed by passionate volunteers, many of whom worked at Chadderton and Woodford.
