Wallingford Museum is a colourful, family-friendly local history museum set on two floors of a medieval oak-beamed building in the heart of Wallingford. You can explore the Wallingford Story through time, wander a Victorian Street Scene, admire models of Wallingford Castle, Bridge, the Thames weirs and station, and get hands-on with the smelly-feely drawers and archaeology sandpits. There are also Roman burials from Crowmarsh and, in 2026, a special exhibition marking Agatha Christie's Wallingford. It suits families and local history enthusiasts alike. The museum sits in Wallingford, South Oxfordshire, with Cholsey station 2.5 miles away, Wallingford Beach on the River Thames just 0.3 miles away, and 31 bookable places to stay within 5 miles on BritStays.
