Take a journey into the past
Are you wondering why our lovely area is called the South Hams? What life was like here and what it looked like in the past? Come and find out at the Kingsbridge Cookworthy Muse- um and discover how local people have lived, worked and played over the centuries. The museum is open Mon-
daySaturday during the season, with eight galleries of local his-
tory and interest for all ages, and quizzes, drawing and dress- ingup for the children (and free entry for under16s). This year displays feature Wil-
liam Cookworthy and his por- celain, a remarkable local life, and 50 years of Kingsbridge Fair Week. Then there’s the 17thcen- tury panelled schoolroom, the Victorian Kitchen, the agricultur- al machinery collection... what-
ever your interest, there is plenty to see and do! And all this in our quirky Grade IIlisted building and peaceful walled garden. If you are researching family or
local history, the Resource Centre is open all year round with local newspapers, maps and archives and a photographic collection with more than 17,000 images. You are welcome to share our local history – visit us soon!

Come and enjoy
treats galore at Cafe Decks overlooking the pond, wild flowers, estuary and sensory garden. There is Dis- abled access to the cafe, toilet and into and around the park.
There are so many vis- itors and locals with fond memories of the little train that used to run alongside the estuary, all of whom were delighted when it returned in 2017! Kingsbridge’s own miniature railway is in its third year of run- ning and has been a massive success, with more than 14,000 pas- sengers taken in two years.
