Felixstowe Museum

Travel Information and nearby accommodation

A fascinating museum in an unusual location! Felixstowe Museum is located in a building formerly used to deploy submarine mines in Felixstowe Harbour. The museum takes up 14 rooms of the submarine mining station on Landguard Point, which stands beside the historic fort used to protect the harbour entrance.

The museum covers the social and military history of Felixstowe and area, with displays of military and naval uniforms, artefacts, photographs, and models from the time of Henry VIII to the present day.

A special exhibit looks at local finds of Roman artefacts, and there is a display dedicated to models of aircraft, ships, and tanks. Further displays cover the history of paddle steamers in the Thames Estuary and East Anglia, the history of the Suffolk County Asylum, and much more of local interest.

Note: Although the postal address of Felixstowe Museum is on Hamilton Road, the actual museum is located at the end of View Point Road, beside Landguard Fort.
