Weston-super-Mare Guide
Weston-super-Mare is another resort that can traces its roots back to the Victorian era. Today it is a popular resort with families with good beaches and other useful facilities. The town itself is at the north end of the long beach and is situated on a hillside, which makes a dramatic backdrop for this attractive Somerset resort.
The town has a long promenade with two piers built by the Victorians and plenty to occupy the family. There is a wide sandy beach with plenty of room for all. There are numerous cafes and shops along the promenade providing tea and coffee, sandwiches and of course fish and chips. There are also several attractions along the beach area including a Sea Life Centre. Update: Sadly the pier burnt down in July 2008 - a great tragedy as it was the focal point of the resort. Hopefully it will be rebuilt in the future.
The town has been involved with aircraft production for many years and there is an excellent museum with a large display of helicopters nearby.

The
resort is located on the Bristol channel, so don't expect crystal clear water
but it is safe for bathing. Cardiff can be seen across the Bristol channel and also the
twin islands of Flat Holm and Steep Holm.
