What can I do near or around Silverstone?

Question

As a treat I am taking my dad out for a driving experience at Silvertone race circuit on 10th Aug. However I dont think we will be much more then a few hours there so was wondering if anyone can suggest a place or a event thats within a 30 minute drive from Silverstone. We live in greater London so have to allow about 1.30 hours to get home but any ideas would be greatly recieved. Also if you know of a nice pub or resturant that does good food that would also be helpful. Thanks

Answer 1

the place to eat is... http://www.pub-restaurant.co.uk/show_res...

i stayed there in the hotel (premier inn) and the food was fab. the service was great and the staff friendly

i went to an open day at the honda F1 teams hq which is nearby... you could always do some spotting!!.
