Local Days Out
Weston is an ideal base for exploring the South West of England, surrounded by many interesting Towns, Cities and Villages, and outstanding scenery.
Here's just a few ideas :
Walkers will love Weston Woods, through to Sand Bay and Kewstoke. The Mendip Hills and Somerset levels and wetlands are very popular with ramblers and cyclists.
The 440 foot tall Brent Knoll, which dates back to Jurassic times, has spectacular views of Glastonbury Tor, Cheddar Gorge, the Bristol Channel and Wales.
Don't miss Brean Down with its dramatic cliffs, Victorian fort and wealth of wildlife. This was the setting for the 2006 movie "The Golden Age", starring Cate Blanchett.
The charming Victorian town of Clevedon is just along the coast, and, in contrast, the modern marina at Portishead is only a little furthur.
For shopaholics, Cribbs Causeway and Clarks Village at Street are both within easy driving distance and full of bargains!
The Georgian city of Bath with its Roman Baths is a must, and Bristol offers a zoo, the SS Great Britain and more shopping!
Cheddar Gorge is one of the most famous attractions of the area, encompassing Burrington Coombe where the hymn 'Rock of Ages' was written, while Glastonbury boasts its legendary King Arthur connection, the Abbey and Tor, and a small music festival !
Don't miss Wells with its Norman Gothic perpendicular Cathedral.
