Combe Martin Museum is a small, accredited local history museum and Tourist Information Point set over three floors, covering silver mining, maritime and farming heritage, village life and the Earl of Rone tradition. You can browse archives and exhibitions, pick up maps and walking route information for the South West Coast Path, and visit the on-site gift shop for books, crafts and souvenirs. It's fully accessible, with step-free entry, lift access and Makaton-supported signage, making it a good indoor option for families and visitors of all abilities. It's a short stroll from Combe Martin beach, just 0.1 miles away, and with 139 places to stay within 5 miles, it's an easy addition to a seaside break in North Devon.
