You'll find archive material, photographs and artefacts covering the world wars, the pottery industry, mining, agriculture and railways, plus the remains of a significant pottery kiln and a restored GWR brake van on site. Children have their own activity area, making it a good stop for families. It's open from Easter to the end of October, Wednesday to Sunday, with car parking available on site. The centre is in Bovey Tracey, Teignbridge, with Newton Abbot station 5.6 miles away, and there are 68 bookable places to stay within 5 miles if you're planning a longer visit nearby.
