I will be attending Tank Fest, in June(graduation present). Aside from many photos, are there any near-by attractions or shops I should be aware of? The money I have saved will leave me, with a hefty "souvenir" budget. I intend to make Tiger Day, in the next few years. If anyone has any photos they want to see in particular, please let me know.

Regards,
-Matt

I made the pilgrimage 3 years ago though not for tankfest unfortunately. It is a wonderful place and is still a military training area where trainee drivers are let loose on the trails to the North of the museum. Give yourself plenty of time, it's big collection.

I looks like I will have 5-7 days, around the Bovington area. After that, another 5-7 in the Normandy area.
