About the location

Having 7 miles of unbroken golden beach our home is in a thriving traditional seaside town with a pier, cinema, theatre, gardens, 2 excellent golf courses, international restaurants and takeaways, selection of fish and chip shops. A good range of shops, cafes and pubs to visit and a busy calendar of events throughout the year for residents and visitors alike. The Bridgwater Carnival (one of the largest illuminated processions in the World) visits in November.

Popular Brean is a 10 minutes drive just along the coast or a longish walk along the beach. Bustling in the summer with visitors and amusements parks. Brean Down is a more challenging walk with an historic fort at the end and views to land and sea.

Burnham is superb for flat walks along the seafront esplanade and the beach. This coastline is well known for its fine sandy beach accessible in places even at high tide. Having the second highest rise and fall of tide in the world – after the Bay of Fundy in Canada – in the holiday season safe stretches are marked and overseen by lifeguards.

Walks from our house: in one direction, a steady walk along the beach will take you to Berrow and the dunes. Unspoilt, protected, perfect for bird watching and glorious in the Spring and Summer for wildflowers. A great place to walk the dog.

Axbridge - a charming market town with a medieval centre.

In the other direction you can walk to town and further on to the marina and 42-acre Apex Park which is enjoyed as a space for picnics, games and wildlife watching on the lake. Lovely play area for children and a dog park. Here you can access the South West Coast path - 630 miles, if you fancy a stroll!

Within 5 minutes you can walk to a traffic free lane to Brent Knoll and enjoy a drink and a meal in a local pub.
