Bewcastle Museum is a small exhibition inside the church yard at Bewcastle, telling the story of the village's past and present through display panels and images covering its long history. It opened in February 2014 and offers a quiet, informative stop for anyone exploring this isolated Roman and Border-history site in Cumberland. The museum is open every day from mid-morning to sunset with free admission, making it easy to fit into a wider day out exploring the Bewcastle Cross, church, and castle remains nearby. The nearest railway station is Brampton (Cumbria), 9.1 miles away, and for those wanting to stay over, there are three bookable places to stay within five miles on BritStays.
