Situated in the fine 18th Century Grade I listed building at Queen Anne's Walk on Barnstaple's historic riverfront, Barnstaple Heritage Centre awaits you, ready to reveal to you the rich and vibrant past of this beautiful market town. Step inside this high-quality attraction and embark upon a fascinating journey through the major periods of Barnstaple's history. The story is told through an exciting combination of hands-on visual and audio effects and information. Wandering through major historic periods spanning over 1000 years, visitors come 'face-to-face' with key figures from Barnstaple's past, such as the Elizabethan Town Clerk, Adam Wyatt, a Mediaeval Mayor, and a Tudor Apothecary. Special innovative features to set your imagination free include the atmospheric 16th Century Merchant Ship interior and a reconstructed Civil War trench, bringing history to life before your eyes! The Heritage Centre Gift Shop, which can be entered separately to the exhibition, boasts a wide range of imaginative gifts, souvenirs and crafts - mainly from small local businesses, artists and craftspeople - well worth a browse!
