Somerset's Picture Perfect Coast
Somerset's coast holds many surprises.
For some visitors, unfamiliar with our geography, it is a surprise to learn the County - known for its Levels, moors and meadows – has a coast at all.
To overlook it is to miss some real treats.
Who can fail to be impressed by the sweeping West Somerset and Exmoor coastline, with some of the highest sea cliffs in England, or the second longest stretch of sand in Europe running from Burnham to Brean?
We have more than our fair share of seaside piers with the associated delights for children of all ages, not to mention some quirky lighthouses, fascinating islands and spectacular sunsets.
The term Jurassic Coast may be more often associated with Dorset but we have ours too and it is just as dramatic in its own way.
In places such as Kilve and Watchet you can marvel at the geology and uncover superb specimens of fossils.
Then there is the wildlife, such as Exmoor Ponies, wild goats, rock pool creatures and wading birds.
At Porlock there is an oyster farm.
It is possible to walk along the coast from Minehead to Bristol - coming inland along the River Parrett to Bridgwater and back out again on towards Weston-Super-Mare. The stretch from Minehead to Brean Down is part of the England Coast Path.
One of the most surprising discoveries is that you can drive onto the award-winning beach at Berrow making it accessible for so many visitors and there are places where you can ride a horse or walk a dog at any time of year.
It has sand dunes, a ship wreck and marshland.
It is dangerous to approach the water at low tide because of the mud but there are clear signs and a warden patrol.
Brean Down at the far end offers 360 degree views over the County and also across to the mysterious islands of Steep Holm and Flat Holm.
Among the top 50 of the UK’s Beaches, Weston-Super-Mare has miles of sand fit for the most fabulous castles!
There are donkey rides, a Grand Pier and SeaQuarium!
