Parking

Sometimes there are spaces on the street outside the Museum where you can park for free for one hour. Alternatively the nearest car park is the Fore Street short stay car park (max. four hours) which is located towards the top of the town, between Tesco and Fore Street, and can be reached either from Fore Street or Cookworthy Road. The Museum is approximately 100 yards from the top of the car park.

Access

Being a Grade II* listed building presents some accessibility challenges for the Museum and we are working hard to ensure that this does not have a detrimental impact on your visit. The age and nature of the building means there are uneven floors and steps in places. There is wheelchair access to the ground floor of the museum. However we strongly advise you call in advance as the main entrance is not wheelchair accessible. Buggies and prams can be left on the ground floor.

A location map of the Museum is available HERE.

Large print is available for many of our displays.

Toilets

We have convenient toilets available for use by visitors – one of which (on the Ground Floor) is wheelchair accessible.

Café

Sadly, at present, we do not have a café but there are plenty of places nearby serving delicious snacks and drinks. Why not spend some further time in Kingsbridge and enjoy our town?

Shop

Kingsbridge Cookworthy Museum has a small shop which sells a range of carefully-curated books, toys and memorabilia – many of which are handmade by our volunteers and exclusive to the Museum.  Many items are available to purchase on-line.  Please click HERE for further details.
