The stretch of sand between popular tourist destination Burnham-on-Sea and Brean Down is the second longest in Europe, and includes eight beaches. It is a huge draw for beach lovers, and the many campsites and parks that serve it prove its popularity! There are ‘kiss-me-quick’ style family amusement parks offering rides, seaside entertainment and eating places, as well as picturesque National Trust managed coastline at Brean Down offering peace, tranquillity and miles of trails away from the busy seaside resorts of Weston-Super-Mare and Burnham-On-Sea.
The local area offers a fun packed holiday for families, as well as the beaches of Burnham, Berrow and Brean offering a seaside sanctuary for those wishing to get away from it all. There are areas of Special Scientific Interest due to rare dune habitats, and the beaches at Burnham and Berrow have both been given Seaside awards by Keep Britain Tidy.
The Castle is situated at the end of the strip on the headland known as ‘Brean Down’. Here you can experience the 360° views over the sea on one side, and across the Somerset Levels on the other where on a clear day you can see both Glastonbury tor and the Mendip Hills.
