National Motor Museum (Beaulieu)

You'll see authentic vehicles featured in films including Live and Let Die, and The World is Not Enough.

SOE Finishing School (Beaulieu)

Also in Beaulieu is the Special Operations Executive (SOE) Finishing School Secret Army Exhibition (www.beaulieu.co.uk/beaulieupalace/secret.cfm) - the training ground for secret agent saboteurs during World War II. Discover the secret skills the agents were taught, and be surprised at the people who taught them - including Hardy Aimes, dress designer to Queen Elizabeth II.

Waddesdon Manor

Stoke Park Club (Stoke Poges)

Hop on a train to Slough, just east of historic Chippenham, to escape the stress of a life in espionage at the 5-star Stoke Park Club (www.stokeparkclub.com/) (spa, hotel and golf) in Stoke Poges. Its ballroom was Bond's hotel room in Tomorrow Never Dies, and in Goldfinger, 007 challenged Auric Goldfinger to a round of golf at the club's golf course.
