A small museum, but the exhibits are interesting. Entry is free, with donations optional. Still, be sure to bring a 50p piece to try out the Victorian "jukebox"
This is a wonderfully interesting museum and its free! Its only small but has really interesting exhibits in it. You can pass a pleasant hour here easily. Would recommend a visit.
Thanks for writing, GCATDA. Totally agree!
This is a fascinating and charming building in itself, in a beautiful setting. What makes it all the more impressive is that it was founded by local people and is run by volunteers. They even have changing special exhibitions, when I was there it was...More
Thank you for writing at such length, ghuzvj. Your comments are much appreciated by our volunteers.
Excellent little local museum with fascinating displays on the railways of the area, virtually all now sadly closed, smuggling, geology, Sir Walter Raleigh, and much more. What is even better, is that admission is free.
Many thanks, Jonathan M. Good to hear from you. Yes, admission is free so our visitor numbers are fairly healthy, but we do rely heavily on donations. The building is expensive to maintain.
Well worth a visit. Lots to see. Each room revealing a little bit of history in different ways. Very informative and friendly staff
Thank you janehammond117. We are especially proud of our enthusiastic and knowledgeable volunteers.

Friendly staff and interesting small museum in Budleigh Salterton worth a visit if you are in the area.
This is not only a museum but a living history of Budleigh and surrounding area. I reconized a model that my father made before the war. The staff well informed and interesting. I believe they change the displays frequently so will go again.
Thank you for your positive comments Peter W. It's always a pleasure for our volunteers to read such praise, especially from someone who knows the area.
While I was attending a Croquet course my wife visited the Fairlynch Musium and fond it very interesting and informative, depicting the local history of the area. There was also a centenary tribute to 'Budleigh Salterton's adopted son' Reg Varney.
