What can you do at Fairlynch Museum?

It is one of the very few thatched museums in the UK, possibly the only one. It is a Grade II listed building that dates from 1811 and is a typical example of a ‘marine cottage orne’. The museum is located a stone’s throw from what is considered to be the best beach in Devon and is run by a team of volunteers.

The museum has some nationally important costume and geological collections. It is a small museum and it takes about 30 minutes to look around. There is also a garden you can look around and many items relating to local history.
