The Cobbaton Combat Collection
Attraction Information
The Cobbaton Combat Collection is a military museum located in North Devon, England. The museum was founded in 1981 by Stephen and Sylvia Short, and is dedicated to preserving the history of military vehicles and equipment used by British and Commonwealth forces from World War I to the present day.
The collection includes over 60 military vehicles, ranging from motorcycles and jeeps to tanks and artillery pieces. Many of the vehicles are in working condition and are displayed in realistic settings to give visitors a sense of what it was like to use them in battle. In addition to the vehicles, the museum also houses an extensive collection of military equipment and memorabilia, including uniforms, weapons, and personal items used by soldiers in the field.
One of the highlights of the museum is the World War I trench display, which recreates a section of a British trench complete with sandbags, dugouts, and barbed wire. The display provides visitors with a glimpse into the harsh realities of trench warfare and the conditions soldiers faced on the front lines.
