About Minehead
 |
|
Minehead is a bustling seaside resort. It is located on a wide sweeping bay in the shelter of Exmoor’s hills.
The centre of the town is only a short walk from the caravan and camping park.
Being the largest town in West Somerset, Minehead offers something for everyone come rain or shine. It boasts a wide tree lined avenue leading to a promenade, a picturesque harbour and a magnificant sandy beach.
Paddle steamers arrive and fishing trips regularly sail from the harbour. Minehead has a wide-range of shops, pubs, restaurants and open-air cafes. There is a theatre, a cinema and an 18-hole golf course. The sea-front offers family attractions and a large amusement park (Butlins). |
Within Minehead there are quieter areas to explore especially the harbour, the higher town with its quaint thatched cottages and 14th century church and Blenheim Gardens where weekend open-air band concerts are still held.

Minehead is the home to the West Somerset Railway,
a twenty mile steam railway that makes its way along the glorious Somerset countryside between Bishops Lydeard (near Taunton) and Minehead. |
