Bovey Tracey Heritage Centre

The Bovey Tracey Heritage Centre is situated in the Old Bovey Station building, which was in use for rail passenger traffic for nearly 100 years.

The Centre is run entirely by volunteers and is funded by grants, donations, bequests, sales and local fund raising events. Local Volunteer Helpers are welcome, not just at the desk to greet visitors, but to help with refreshments, painting, keeping the weeds down and other various maintainence items.

The exhibits for the 2014 season will include events of 1914, first world war artefacts, trench art and propaganda. Other exhibits are based around local industry such as pottery, agriculture, mining and the Moretonhampstead branch railway line.

The following pictures show some of our permanent and external exhibits.

The Toad GWR brake van contains a model of the Moretonhampstead station. But its opening times will be depenent on availability of volunteers.
