Lyn and Exmoor Museum — Attraction in North Devon

We were not expecting to find a place like this in Lynton, but we spotted the sign and decided to pay a visit. Apparently the oldest domestic dwelling in town, with quirky but fascinating exhibits covering life in times past, and especially the impact of the 1952 flooding. It was made more interesting by the museum curator/caretaker who escorted us on a 30 minute tour, and brought the museum to life, and livened up the proceedings by relating the story of the dwelling's resident ghost. A nice diversion from the usual...

A quaint little museum which used to house two families at a time, has stairs to part of the exhibition which is not recommended for people with accessibility issues. However, it was interesting and very good value for money.

Also, the man working there was very friendly and knowledgeable.

Well...

Charming little museum, full of curiosities (even a ghost!) Well worth the modest admision fee. Rather tucked away (a hidden gem) but worth the effort of finding it in the old village,...
