Exmouth Museum & Heritage Centre is a volunteer-run museum telling the story of Exmouth, from its days as a fishing village to becoming the largest town in Devon. Inside you'll find personal possessions, photographs and stories of local people and families, a Hayloft area with headgear to try on, and a Stables display including a Voluntary Aid Detachment uniform and photos from the wartime Auxiliary Hospital. It suits families, school groups and anyone curious about local history, with group visits usually arranged for Fridays when the museum is closed to the public. It's open Monday to Thursday and Saturday mornings. Staying nearby is easy, with Exmouth station just 0.1 miles away, the beach 0.8 miles off, and 103 bookable places to stay within 5 miles on BritStays.
