Hotels in Minehead

Minehead is a sheltered corner beneath the dramatic North Hill and looks out across the broad expanse of the Bristol Channel. Little fishing boats adorn the pretty harbour where, in Summer, the famous preserved paddle steamer Waverley and the cruise ship Balmoral may offer you an exciting sea trip for the day.

Minehead sea defences are a major improvement to the seafront and provide a spacious promenade from which to access the sandy bathing beach and view the bay. At night, the promenade lighting creates a unique string of pearls effect.

A short walk from the sea front is Blenheim Park, famous for its floral displays. Tennis, cricket, squash, hockey. golf, bowls and putting are all available, and the area is superb for walking, horse riding and fishing.

Minehead Railway Station is the seafront terminus of Britain's longest preserved steam railway. 20 miles of the most beautiful West Somerset countryside, hidden pretty villages and picturesque seaside stations, all offering plenty to see and do, are brought to you from your railway carriage. Beyond the Harbour you will find the Lifeboat Station.

Seaside & steam, buckets & spades - what more can you ask!
