The Peat Moors Centre lies on the road between Shapwick and Westhay in Somerset, England.
The museum is dedicated to the archaeology, history and geology of the Somerset Levels. It also includes reconstructions of some of the archaeological discoveries, including a number of Iron Age round houses from Glastonbury Lake village, and the world's oldest engineered highway, the Sweet Track. From time to time the centre offers courses in a number of ancient technologies in subjects including textiles, clothing and basket making, as well as staging various open days, displays and demonstrations.
The centre is run by the Somerset Historic Environment Service.
