Cobbaton Combat Collection is a must-visit attraction for families visiting the beautiful county of Devon. Located near the picturesque village of Chittlehampton, this unique museum takes you on a fascinating journey through the history of warfare, from World War I to the present day. The museum has an impressive collection of military vehicles, weapons, uniforms, and equipment that is sure to fascinate visitors of all ages.

One of the things that makes Cobbaton Combat Collection so special is the fact that it is run by a family who are passionate about military history. Visitors can meet the owner, Stephen, who has an encyclopedic knowledge of military equipment and loves to share his knowledge with visitors. The family atmosphere at the museum makes it a warm and welcoming place for families to spend a day exploring.

As you enter the museum, you’re transported back in time. The first thing you’ll notice is the incredible collection of military vehicles, ranging from tanks and armored cars to jeeps and motorcycles. The vehicles are displayed both inside and outside, and visitors are free to climb aboard and explore them. It’s a real thrill to sit behind the wheel of a tank or peer through the periscope of an armored car. Kids, in particular, will love the chance to clamber inside the vehicles and imagine themselves at the controls.
