loved the smuggling history and interactive coastal map. The peaceful medieval herb garden between the prison cells was a highlight. Spent a good hour and a half, then relaxed in the gun garden amongst the cannons. Only a fiver to get in.
Kids all went free and were fascinated with everything — there was an area where they got to hold weapons and wear helmets which they loved. I would definitely recommend visiting
A repository of smuggler memorabilia — lamps, weapons, wanted posters — enough for an entertaining and informative hour. Kids will love the crossbows, creepy skeleton in a cage, and the hidden medieval loo.
A medieval tower dating back to the 13th century with three storeys of exhibits — medieval pottery, imprisonment, Napoleon’s coastal defences and more. There’s also a herb garden and a Women’s Tower built for female prisoners in 1837. Good value at £5 per person.
Extremely interesting information on prison life and smuggling over the centuries. Small but fascinating interactive section on longbows — and loved the sea shanty section.
Small museum but with lots of interesting exhibits. Price is right for the amount of time you can spend here. Nice to see thoughtful activities for children that don’t spoil the experience for other visitors. Would visit again.
We paid £5 to enter and had a look around the many rooms and artifacts on display. After exploring the tower we went down into the garden area — once a protected prison compound, with two-foot spikes on the walls to stop anyone climbing to freedom. Certainly worth a visit
This is a lovey little museum in a beautiful spot. Highly worth a visit and then walking around the town and church after.
