Weston super Mare

Weston-super-Mare is a bustling seaside resort with a reputation for seaside fun and excellent visitor attractions. The broad sweep of Weston Bay has miles of clean golden sand, an award winning Grade II listed Grand Pier, a level promenade and of course the famous Weston donkeys to delight all the family. Away from the excitement of the seafront there is a wide variety of shops, amusement arcades and excellent restaurants, giving visitors a broad choice of holiday experience.

There is something for all the family in this resort, with attractions, historical sites, picturesque parks and even specially staged children's activities right on the beach. Throughout the year there is something to look forward to with international and local events. In May, the European Cup Water Ski Races promise thrills and spills whilst July sees the Music & Dance Festival as well as the Helicopter Weekend with military and civil helicopters on show and pleasure flights from the beach. In September, laugh yourself silly with the very serious International Clown Festival. October's fun is at the Motorcycle Enduro Beach Race and November lights up the calendar with the Illuminated Carnival.

Summer though remains the best time to be here though with boat trips on the Waverley Paddle Steamer, the Balmoral and Brittania Queen from Knightstone Harbour. There is a land train too that journeys right along the sea front from Knightstone and is perfect for getting a taste of everything Weston-Super-Mare is famous for.

With live music, dancing, restaurants offering cuisine from all over the world, comedy, theatre and clubs, Weston-Super-Mare is great for night-life too. Even outdoor enthusiasts will be spoilt for choice, with endless miles of coastline and spectacular countryside offer ideal locations for activities such as walking, cycling, riding and much more.

Beyond Weston, the Somerset coast and country is a wonderful area, full of contrasts. From large, bustling shopping centres through to stunning coastal views and tranquil, unspoilt countryside, this region really does have the full range of features that make a holiday complete.
