Fairlynch Museum
A pebble’s throw from the best beach in Devon, we’re a volunteer-run museum for life-long learners of all ages and everyone who loves our corner of the world. We have nationally important costume and geological collections and excellent resources for local and family history researchers.
Fairlynch Museum and Arts Centre is one of the very few thatched museums in the UK. The Grade II Listed building dating from 1811 is a typical example of a 'marine cottage orné'.
