The museum is set in the castle and offers an interesting insight into life in Bude, its varied geology, history and its progression from a port to most recently a surfing centre. Education facilities, a shop and restaurant are on site and the restaurant has stunning views.
Lots of curiosities, an excellent mineral collection, and plenty of artefacts from St Agnes' long maritime and mining history.
Covering about two acres, this museum has grown since opening in 2008 and now extends to18 separate buildings with thousands of historical items and displays. RAF, Royal Navy and British Army artifacts are displayed alongside American and German items. Your tour will start with a film showing how the museum started and buildings have audio/video systems to help. Dogs are allowed and all buildings have wheelchair access. A point to note before you visit; drive through the blue double gates on arrival into the car park inside (there is a smaller museum next door which leads to confusion)
Enjoy the real taste of Cornwall, with lots to offer including cyder, brandy, country wines, fruit juices, jams and preserves - you are sure to find something for all the family to try!
The building is owned by the National Trust, but run as a town museum by the council. Admission is free and there is a lot of domestic history to see over several floors of this well-preserved Georgian townhouse.
All about the changing fortunes of Padstow and its inhabitants over the last two centuries.
Exhibitions exploring the rich mining, farming and fishing history of the north coast.
Take a trip down memory lane and see toys and artefacts from a bygone age. You'll find a vast selection of toys alongside items to purchase.
