The Heritage Centre has been totally restored over the past 12 months. The Museum is open 10am-4pm daily which includes "Tea On The Train" which serves wonderful refreshments. The Museum is based in the railway parcels van and the Signal Van – both are open and free!

One of Bidefords little gems, definitely worth a visit. It's kept looking lovely by volunteers and new members and volunteers are always welcome. I would recommend anyone to stop and have a breather here when passing through on the Tarka Trail.
