Overall Rating
Average
Small local history museum telling the history of Sidmouth from Jurassic times through to present times. Admission is free.
Disabled Access In and Around
Average
There is a step into the museum. However they have a temporary ramp if step free access required. Only step free access on the ground floor. Upstairs is only accessible by stairs, which have a handrail.
Parking & Transport
Excellent
Sidmouth doesn't have a railway station. The 9 or 9A bus from Exeter takes about 35 - 45 minutes and stops at the Sidmouth Triangle, round the corner from the museum.
Accessible Toilets
0NA - there are no public toilets in the museum. However there is an accessible toilet requiring radar key, round the corner from the museum at the Sidmouth Triangle.
Staff
Excellent
Staff were very helpful and welcoming.
Additional Information
There are plans to get a permanent step free entrance but this will only provide access to the ground floor. There is a fine collection of rocks and fossils and a display of lace upstairs.
