Dawlish Museum

With 11 rooms over 3 floors the museum is most famous for its display of Piper Bill Millins D-Day bagpipes. The displays in Dawlish Museum are regularly updated and depict life past and present in the town and notably tell the story of the February storm of 2014 which severely damaged the railway line. A vast archive of 100's of rare historical photographs can be seen in both album form or on the new library P.C. Children as well as adults are well catered for and there are many fun activities for them to do such as the dressing up outfits and the Black Swan Trail. The Museum is entirely run by volunteers, is self funding and recently proudly gained official accreditation. A DVD of the Great Storm is now available to buy and a rolling preview can be seen in the Great Storm display room.

Well worth a visit if you are in the area, a lot of history is held here all about Dawlish, history from years back up to date when the storms brought the railway to a standstill. Visit and enjoy, a room dedicated to a Dawlish hero Piper Bill Millins really great.

We arranged a visit here for a friends 30th birthday to go quad biking. It was so so much fun. We thoroughly enjoyed our time and Alex the instructor was great fun. We were a group of 5 girls and that didn’t stop us getting covered in mud and going through huge ditches full of water. Highly recommend and will hopefully return again soon!

Very friendly warm atmosphere,excellent well kept real ale and ciders. Ideal for a quiet pint or educated chat with locals.Excellent set back location but very close to a supermarket, Chinese take away and launderette. Lovely staff and Martin is a great host despite not working for the excellent team. Definitely a secret but well respected quiet treasure.
