Weston Super Mare
Weston-super-Mare is situated in a sheltered bay at the foot of the Mendip Hills with views across the Bristol Channel to South Wales. It is Somersets finest holiday resort both in terms of its natural beauty and the attractions and activities the town and surrounding area has to offer.
Weston has maintained a Victorian and Edwardian legacy, with its charming turn-of-the-century terraces interspersed with well kept gardens. Attractions include the fascinating SeaQuarium and the magnificent 21st century Grand Pier. There is dancing nightly at the Winter Gardens and top class cabaret, as well as big star names performing at the Playhouse, Westons premier theatre.
Weston is surrounded by places of cultural and historical interest. It is close to the cities of Bath, Bristol and Wells, with their ancient Roman history and breath taking cathedrals. In addition, due to the resort's position, nestling between the Mendip Hills and the Bristol Channel, visitors will find ample opportunities for both gentle rambling and sailing.

Wells
Wells Cathedral
Built between 1175 and 1490 Wells Cathedral has been described as the most poetic of the English Cathedrals.
Street
Sitting at the end of the Polden Hills, with views of Glastonbury Tor and the Mendip Hills. Street is perfectly situated to explore the surrounding countryside, whilst enjoying all of the sites and facilities that the village has to offer.
Street is the birthplace of Clarks shoes, whose story began almost 200 years ago, when brothers, Cyrus and James Clark, started making slippers from sheepskin offcuts. Clarks grew into an international company, renowned for quality and innovation. Although the factory has long gone, Street is still home to Clarks HQ, and many of the surrounding buildings and terraces built for the workers, such as Wilfrid Road, themselves attract visitors, for their architectural qualities.
Street also has a number of churches, the oldest being the Anglican Parish Church of The Holy Trinity, a Grade I listed building which dates from the 14th century.
Wookey Hole
Let us take you on an underground adventure that began millions of years ago with a drop of rain. The caves at Wookey Hole first began to form when rain water percolated through the porous, sedimentary rock of the Mendip Hills. This process slowly began to create the chambers of the caves. Eight of which you can see on your visit. There are many more chambers, only a few of which have been explored fully.
Minehead
Minehead is a coastal town and civil parish in Somerset, England. It lies on the south bank of the Bristol Channel, 21 miles north-west of the county town of Taunton, 12 miles from the boundary with the county of Devon and in proximity of the Exmoor National Park.
