There is direct access to the museum from the Manor car park.

A walkway takes you from the museum to the town centre, approximately 50 metres away, where there is a wide range of shops, cafes, public houses and other amenities.

Adjacent to the museum is a newly constructed courtyard with a sculpture by famous local artist Barbara Pearson. In summer there is an alfresco cafe.

Nearby in the newly refurbished Memorial Hall is the Holsworthy Information Centre. Just across the road is Holsworthy's lovely old church of St Peter and St Paul ,parts of which date back to Norman times.

Holsworthy is just under an hour's drive from Exeter, and about 15 mins from the popular Cornish resort of Bude.
