Definitely the factory. The tour is really informative and watching the vehicle assemble is fascinating. Best of all, the tour is free if you're a current Aston Martin owner and arrange the tour through the dealership.

Works is alright but unless you can arrange a tour of the actual workshop, Newport Pagnell is just like any other dealership.

I haven't been to the heritage trust but based on pictures I think Gaydon + The British Motoring Museum (a few minutes away) would be the better bet.

I don’t know if Works provides a tour.

I was provide a lenghty tour at Works bc purchase a car there. Seeing the classics, like DB4 GTs being built to me was more exciting than Gaydon. Especially since can watch some of the Gayton tour on-line.

That said - you’ll love either one of them.

This is really good to know, and thanks for asking. I end up in the UK on a regular basis, and I'll add this to the list!
