Axe Valley Heritage Museum sits in the Town Hall on Fore Street in Seaton, East Devon, and focuses on the lower Axe Valley, including Beer, Axmouth, Branscombe, Colyton and Colyford. You'll find an excellent collection of old photographs, mostly from the E.S. Gosling collection, alongside Roman artefacts from the Honeyditches site, Victorian and 1920s costumes, and a local cabinetmaker's woodworking tools. There's also a Jurassic Coast interactive computer and children's activities during the season, though the museum isn't accessible for wheelchair users. It's a good stop for history-minded visitors, open late May to October on weekdays. With Seaton beach just 0.2 miles away and 41 bookable places to stay within 5 miles, it fits neatly into a seaside visit to this part of Devon.
