Shere Museum sits in the Tillingbourne Valley and tells the story of the people who have lived in Shere Parish, including Shere, Gomshall and Peaslake, over the centuries. You can explore a collection of artefacts and documents from the Surrey area, view changing exhibitions, browse the museum shop, and arrange access to the archives for local history research. Guided walks around the pre-Domesday village can also be organised, and the museum welcomes individuals, groups and school visits, with wheelchair access arranged for the ground floor. It's run entirely by volunteers and open at weekends and some bank holidays. Gomshall station is 0.9 miles away, and with 28 bookable places to stay within 5 miles, it's an easy addition to a short break nearby.
