What We Do
The group investigates and records details of our local past, preserves such as the Galmpton Lime Kiln and the Broadsands Neolithic Chambered Tomb, and provides information about the history and wildlife in the Galmpton Creek area.
A comprehensive ‘Guide to Galmpton’ map containing information of local historic interest is available at the Manor Inn and Galleon Stores.
A programme of talks and guided walks/visits is organised annually.
If you would like to keep up to date with our upcoming talks at the Galmpton Village Institute hall and other activities why not contact us and ask to put your email address on our email circulation list for free.
Talks are usually £3 to attend, payable on the door.
We are a friendly group and are always pleased to meet new potential members, so why not come along to our next talk?
