Devon holiday cottage guests can experience over 1,000 years of heritage while touring the South West with a visit to Barnstaple Heritage Centre.

Boasting views of a historic riverfront, the Devon attraction set in a fine Grade 1 listed property uses "an exciting combination of visual and audio effects" to reveal the town's "rich and vibrant" past.

"Step inside this quality visitor attraction and embark upon a fascinating journey through the major periods of Barnstaple's history," says the centre.

Devon holiday cottage guests visiting the attraction will come "face-to-face with key figures such as an Elizabethan Town Clerk, a Medieval Mayor and a Tudor Apothecary!"

The attraction is open Tuesday to Friday 10:30am to 5:00pm and Saturday 10:30am to 3:30pm.

As well as seeing the rich history in the Barnstaple Heritage Centre, holidaymakers can also visit local attractions such as Barnstaple Long Bridge, Butcher's Row and the Pannier Market.
