out by the Landmark Trust.<br \/>\nThe Shuttleworth Collection is open daily and well worth a visit if you are interested in old aircraft, cars etc. The Swiss Garden is also open daily (charges apply).<br \/>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3172\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3172\" style=\"width: 150px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a
