Mortehoe Museum
About This Museum
People find their way to the Mortehoe Museum not just for a dose of history, but for the dramatic tales of the coast itself. It’s a place that feels deeply connected to the village's past, especially its treacherous maritime history. You'll spend an hour completely absorbed in stories of local life and the shipwrecks that happened just offshore. It’s a small, personal museum that leaves you with a real sense of this community's resilience.
Collection Highlights
The gripping accounts of shipwrecks on the rugged coastline are the main draw, told through salvaged artefacts and photographs. Alongside these dramatic tales, you'll find charming exhibits on everyday village life through the ages.

After exploring, don't miss the craft and souvenir shop located right inside the historic barn – it's the perfect spot to find a unique local keepsake.
Architecture & Building
