Hartland Quay Museum

There has been a museum at Hartland Quay since the 1990s . It details some amazing artefacts and reports of shipwrecks around the local area. The quay was originally built in the late 16th century but was swept away in 1887 and the museum shows how the quay worked in days gone by and has some salvage from the ships that have gone down on our dramatic coast.
