Brief description

"Reviews for the Royal Garages (part of the Sandringham Estate) highlight its appeal for car enthusiasts, showcasing the Royal family's stunning motor cars, especially the Rolls-Royces, within beautiful grounds, though some visitors find entry expensive or feel other estate offerings (like gardens/house) are better value, making it a worthwhile but potentially supplementary part of a Sandringham visit.  "

The Museum housed in the former coach house and stables

The 20,000-acre (8,100 ha)[143] Sandringham estate has some of the finest shoots in England, and is used for royal shooting parties.[61] Covering seven villages, the estate's other main activities, aside from tourism, are arable crops and forestry.[159] The grounds provided room for Queen Alexandra's menagerie of horses, dogs, cats, and other animals.[160] In 1886 a racing pigeon loft was constructed for birds given to the Duke of York by King Leopold II of Belgium and one or more lofts for pigeons have been maintained ever since. The Norwich Gates, designed by Thomas Jeckyll[161] and made by the local firm of Barnard, Bishop and Barnard, were a wedding present for Edward and Alexandra from "the gentry of Norfolk".[29]

In 2007 Sandringham House and its grounds were designated a protected site under Section 128 of the Serious Organised Crime and Police Act 2005. This makes it a criminal offence to trespass in the house or its grounds.[162] The Sandringham estate has a museum in the former coach house with displays of royal life and estate history.[143] The museum also houses an extensive collection of royal motor vehicles including a 1900 Daimler owned by Edward VII and a 1939 Merryweather & Sons fire engine, made for the Sandringham fire brigade which was founded in 1865 and operated independently on the estate until 1968.[163] The coach house stables and garaging were designed by A. J. Humbert at the same time as his construction of the main house.[125]. The estate contains several houses with close links to the royal family."
