Bygones Victorian Museum
Fore Street, St Marychurch, Torquay, TQ1 4PR
How far: 2.5 miles
Bygones calls itself a Victorian museum, but how many museums can you
name that make you feel as if you have literally stepped back in time? What
began as a carefully crafted Victorian street replica in May 1987, complete with
authentic looking shops and models, has now grown into a veritable time-warp
of displays and set-pieces in which you can actually walk around and get a feel
for the age they depict. You could relive the heroism and horror of World War I
in the multi-sensory Trench or experience the interior of an Anderson shelter.
When you’ve all had enough of adventure, you can wind down in Bygones’
excellent cafe before perusing the gift shop.
