Brilliant loved it i am not into museums but my 11 yr old son is and only £2 entry but but wow a peoples museum yes something for everybody in there and A History lesson too i would Reccomend this to visit when in Dawlish a short walk from town centre or up by the Green and if travelling by car well plenty of parking as its beside a council car park yes an Amazing place full of yesteryear
This is a fascinating little museum. Tucked away at the back of a car park in the town, it is a little difficult to find but well worth the effort. Having paid the small entrance we were immediately engrossed in the first room all about Piper Bill Millins. I won't spoil the surprise but we must have spent about an hour just in this room. The rest of the museum is all about local history including the storm in 2014 which demolished part of the railway line in Dawlish. The museum relies on entrance fees and donations which is a pity as it deserves better funding. Please give it a visit, you won't be disappointed.
Interesting, informative and great value. Worth a visit
A visit to Dawlish Museum is spent in a happy, friendly atmosphere. A very interesting and varied experience and a worthwhile activity for children, to relate to past times and feel continuity with the present.
A great little museum and friendly staffWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNot sure
Lived here for 35 years this place has never bored me always updating their collection the volunteers are very passionate about the collection here also the home of the Great pipes from bill millin the mad piper god rest his soul
Great place to visit as there is so much to see. Only £2 to go in and many items of note. Look out for the Victoria kitchen, it's fantastic and really takes you back in time.
A small museum tucked away at end of car park but it was well worth the cost 3 floors of things to look at, trails for the kids , as well as toys.
