The RNLI Grace Darling Museum tells the incredible story of Grace Darling, a fearless young woman who became a reluctant celebrity. In 1838, Grace and her father William risked their lives to rescue stranded survivors from a ship wrecked in a fierce storm. This feat of bravery changed her life dramatically. Explore Grace's life and upbringing in the lighthouse, the events of the rescue that propelled her into the limelight and her status as a national hero. During your visit, you'll discover personal items and portraits of the Darling family, including the famous boat that Grace and her father used during the rescue. See if you can light up the lighthouse, and learn more about Grace and other female lifesavers too. Last entry is 30 minutes before closing time. Opening times depend on volunteer availability and are subject to change. Any unexpected changes to our times will be announced on our Facebook page.
