Picture Perfect Coast
Be Inspired...Be Very Inspired!
Perhaps surprisingly to many that don't already know, Somerset's coast holds many surprises. First of all you won't fail to be impressed by the West Somerset and Exmoor coastline, which includes some of the highest sea cliffs in England and dramatic views across the Bristol Channel.
Then there is the wildlife, such as Exmoor Ponies, coastal walks that include the famous South West Coast Path, and fossil hunting on Kilve Beach. To top this you can easily while away time in pretty little coastal places like Porlock or Clevedon.
