Local Attractions

Minehead's wide, sandy beach stretches for a mile, from The Strand to Warren Point, while there is a pebble beach running towards the harbour. These beaches, so readily accessible, along with the recently built promenade remain a major attraction. It comes as no surprise, therefore, that Minehead grew as a holiday destination during Victorian times and remains a popular resort town to this day.

While Minehead can satisfy visitors in its own right, the surrounding area is genuinely one of the most beautiful parts of Britain. Exmoor provides a unique beauty and tranquillity among its heather-clad moorlands, with spectacular views where they meet plunging cliffs and sheltered bays. In Somerset, you are spoilt for choice as the beauty continues in the shape of the Blackdown Hills, the Mendip Hills and the Quantock Hills, where walkers, wildlife-lovers and railway enthusiasts keen to witness the beauty from the West Somerset Steam Railway will not be disappointed.
