The museum is situated on Fore St and I must warn you it is about half way up quite a steep hill! A room is dedicated to Charles Babbage, probably the most famous person from Totnes. Babbage invented the first computer and children will be interested in how the computer revolution started. He was educaed at Totnes Grammar School, the old school is situated further down the hill. There are other collections at the museum covering a variety of periods, Saxon, Elizabethan and Victorian to name a few. The museum is a very interesting place to visit.

The blurb:…read more The Barn Cinema is an independent cinema situated in a renovated 14th century barn within the grounds of the beautiful Dartington Hall estate, near Totnes. The Barn runs a wide-ranging film programme , including independent arthouse, world and mainstream cinema, seven days a week as well as a children's matinee programme on Saturday afternoons. Cinema choice can be quite limiting in Torbay where only the mainstream Hollywood movies are in abundance. The Barn Cinema at Dartington Hall has been a wonderful find to say the least and so far we have managed to see Blindness, Cypher and Planet Terror. Okay so slightly more mainstream than independent, but these films would have probably involved trips to either Exeter or Plymouth. The seating may not be especially comfortable and could well benefit an upgrade, however they may be constrained by the heritage nature of their venue, and as such loses one star. Don't expect your average multiplex with their cheap popcorn and drinks, this is a more discerning cinema. Couple with a meal at the White Hart, this makes for a great night out at the movies.

The toy shop has some lovely, small stocking fillers and some larger more traditional toys. The main shop for the glass tends to be rather pricey but the smaller shops such as the bazaar have some good ideas and the sweet shack has some nice things. There is plenty of parking here, and they sometimes have bands and entertainers. There is also a coffee shop. It is a nice, different and slightly more expensive way to do your Christmas shopping off the high street.
