The Grand Pier in Weston Super Mare is a renowned landmark that offers a classic seaside experience. It features an array of attractions, including indoor rides, arcade games, and a funfair at the end of the pier. Visitors can also enjoy treats like candy floss and ice cream while taking in the scenic views of the sea and beach. The pier's grand pavilion houses various entertainment options, from slot machines to a ghost train called the 'Castle of Doom'.
The Grand Pier in Weston-super-Mare is a great place for a fun day out. There’s something for everyone, whether you're visiting with family, friends, or just looking for a bit of seaside nostalgia. The arcade games and rides inside are a big hit with kids and adults alike. There’s a nice mix of classic games and modern attractions, including a small indoor roller coaster and a 4D cinema. The pier also has places to grab a bite to eat, from tasty fish and chips to sweet treats like donuts and ice cream. The views out to sea are lovely, especially on a clear day, and walking along the pier gives you that classic British seaside experience. It’s clean, well-kept, and has a lively, friendly atmosphere. Overall, the Grand Pier is a fun and affordable way to spend a few hours by the sea. A must-visit if you're in Weston-super-Mare! Parking can be found opposite the pier on the main road or in the town. Free motorcycle parking down the main road on the beachfront. Free toilets in the pier, but the pier is £2 each to enter. Well worth it!

We had an amazing time at The Grand Pier and Weston-super-Mare! The beach was lively with so much to do rides, food stalls, ice cream, and activities for everyone. The sand was absolutely amazing and so soft, perfect for relaxing or playing with the kids. We stayed to watch the sunset, which was phenomenal! The only downsides were that the water was quite dirty and stayed far out most of the day, only coming closer around 6 in the evening. Overall though, it was such a fun and memorable day out. Definitely worth a visit
Maria H — Google review
I wish they had a sunny beer terrace on the top floor of the pier—it would make a huge difference. Watching the sunset with a beer in hand is the kind of memorable experience people come back for. Many piers in California offer that, and it really elevates the visit. I also noticed a few loose floorboards that caused someone to stumble, so hopefully those get fixed sooner rather than later.
Evgeny N — Google review
To be honest I feel that charging people to enter the pier at £2 per person is a bit cheeky. However as it was summer holidays there was free face painting and kids characters walking about for photo opportunities so I guess this paid for itself. I took the children to the dinosaur soft play but it wasn’t particularly dino themed, they got bored easily as not the biggest play area. Arcades are large and varied, plenty of toilets dotted about. I chose not to eat so can’t comment on the food. I would say it’s ok to kill a few hours on maybe a rainy day.

The rides were great fun, and the wristband offers good value for unlimited rides. Just be aware that go-karting requires closed-toe shoes—so no sandals! The 2p machines were entertaining but a bit stingy with the prizes. Also, the £2 initial entrance fee to the pier feels a little steep, especially if you're just planning a short visit. It was a great way to spend time together and make some happy memories.
Peter A — Google review
Day out to Weston Supermare and a wander down the pier. £2 entry through turnstiles. Lovely walk - or there’s a free train- we came back on the train being big kids, or rather we were full from a delicious lunch at Tiffany’s. Great views out to sea - tide was out so it was mostly sand! Played on a few machines in the arcade but didn’t win anything!
Roz M — Google review
Got loads to do for kids and big kids! Tickets in advance save you time when you get there. We bought the £30 wristbands which are well worth it if you're planning on spending the full day there, but if adults aren't going on or in anything paying £2 to get in might be the better one if you're mainly there for the amusements
KTY — Google review
£2 to enter and then be prepared - if you have kids - to pump endless 2ps into the machines to win assorted tat worth about 30p. But if you like amusements then you've a good selection for when the rain inevitably pours. The pier itself is well maintained and I guess the £2 entry fee goes towards keeping the structure going, so that's something. Provides great views back over WSM and also a photogenic location for sunsets. Worth a visit if you're walking the seafront, which itself has been much improved over recent years.

Local history museum

Weston Museum, established in the mid-19th century, is dedicated to preserving the historical memory of Weston-super-Mare and its surroundings. The museum showcases archaeological finds dating back almost 400 million years and presents a succession of historical exhibitions spanning different periods up to the present day.
This was an insightful museum to visit, delving into the economic drivers of Weston-Super-Mare throughout time! One section has old railway signage and talks about how the train connectivity brought more money into the town, a boat is shown separately from its industrial heydays. The former Donkey Chair taxi and a model of Weston in the 1960's are unique additions, shopping history is also delved into as the prominent items are touched on and the town's post-World War 2 period. Tourism's impact is another key point even incorporating outfits here, love the puppet theatre attraction as well!

We had an amazing time today at Western Museum. We travelled over to you especially to see the Paul Kidby Discworld exhibition and it was a tremendous experience. The whole museum is brilliant also! The guys at the desk were very friendly and chatty. There’s also a small free car park opposite which was great
Nicodemus E — Google review
Visited Weston for a day and saw this on my last few hours. Clara's cottage was my favourite part - seeing how life was illustrated in a home in the 1900s. Very nice doll collection by Peggy Nisbet. Also, more local history about Weston and its development upstairs. I would recommend seeing this museum before you've done anything else, to get a grasp of the history of the area.
Brim Z — Google review
This was an intetesting local museum with an eclectic mix of things to see, including a house. It also has a small shop, cafe and events space.

I am a MASSIVE Terry Pratchett fan and always thought the covers and art was incredible. The descriptions and art so intertwined and clever. We travelled down from Stockport to Weston Super Mare for the Phil Kidby’s show at Weston Museum as saw a BBC article on it. SOOOOOOOOOO incredibly good and totally free! I was expecting a £10-20 entry, but no totes free. We spent an hour on the show and 40mins rest of the museum. His art is also being sold in the Museum shop. Parking straight across road too.
Emma W — Google review
A fantastic museum and completely FREE! We've visited a couple of times and they have lots of things for the children to look at. On our last visit they also had a Punch and Judy style puppet show of the 3 little pigs which the kids loved. If you're in the area the museum is well worth a visit.
Steven H — Google review
Lovely little museum with friendly staff. Details the history of weston from prehistoric times to modern day. Also has a cafe and an old fashioned cottage that you can look around for free. Beautiful little gem.
Louise J — Google review
We went to the museum during the midterm break. It was a little busy but we didn't have to wait. They had some exhibitions going on - Dr Who and a Renactment. It was really informative and the kids (4 year olds) had a great time. They specially liked Clara's Cottage. In the main museum, there were puzzles for them to arrange and a mini movie upstairs. There's also a little reading corner with few toys. It was a fun day out. They got tired so we didn't explore every bit of the museum so we'd be going back.

Beach
Outdoor Activities
Weston Super Mare Beach is a quintessential Victorian English seaside resort with a long stretch of golden sand, mud flats, and a lively town offering an aquarium, museums, theaters, and amusements on the grand pier. Throughout the year, the beach hosts various events like Pro Nationals, Weston Beach Dash, Air Festival, music festivals such as T4 On The Beach and South-West Live.
I went there on a Sunny day in Sept. It is one of my favourite sand beaches. Clean and beautiful, close to Bristol. You have plenty of car parking spots. Amazing food shops around. Great for a day trip with family and friends.
Anjana A — Google review
A nice sandy beach, although when the tide goes out past a certain point it becomes a mud flap and not inviting to paddle in. At near high tide it is much more a proper beach. Seafront is well maintained and generally things feel on the up so the walk along the front is very pleasant and a good place for sunsets.
Kevin K — Google review
This beach is not dog friendly, the parking is a rip off in season. The parking is £14 for the day which is very expensive and it is very hard to get parked. The only good side to this are is that the promenade is clean and there is a clear path with loads of seating. It is very wheelchair accessible but not to the sand itself. It is pretty clean in terms of rubbish but the water quality was so poor they wouldn't let you go in the water because of sewage discharge. Is it regularly like this so check before you travel.

One of my favourite place to visit, very clean, nice sandy beach, fantastic day out for the family coming back next week.
Robert P — Google review
As my partner predicted, it turned out to be the last warm day of 2025 — perfect timing for a trip to Weston-super-Mare beach. Just a short drive from Bristol, it offered everything we hoped for: a relaxing walk along the sand, a bit of sunshine, coffee and ice cream by the sea. The tide was out, but that only made the beach feel even wider and calmer. We sat for a while, breathing in the salty, iodine-rich air and watching the light change over the bay — simple, peaceful, and exactly what we needed.
Yarys — Google review
Love Weston super mare normally go in Off Season because the B&Bs and hotels are cheap we always go to the Lauriston Hotel It's a dog friendly hotel but is actually a signed for people who need assisted dogs but obviously families can go and take there dogs Or if you don't want to go in one of the hotels you can get self-catering accommodation quite cheap Out of Season expensive and hard to get in season need to book about a year in advance
Matt G — Google review
We stopped by briefly on our way home and arrived at 5pm. The beach was empty, and there was plenty of parking. The only issue was that parking was expensive, at £7 for the one hour we stayed; parking should be done hourly. We didn't use any facilities, as they were all closed when we arrived. It was a fantastic time spent with my youngest, with good weather and warm seas.
Paul B — Google review
What a big change, pier now £2 to go on, why? They make a lot of money from visitors going on there. They close at 4.30pm what? Dont bother visiting, this once was a nice place to visit, even the girl locking the pier gates can't understand English. Waste of time going, M5 bumper to bumper 20 mph for almost 45 minutes, ill never go sgain, just like great Yarmouth, this place is falling apart and prices are way over the top

Nestled in the picturesque Somerset countryside, just a stone's throw from Weston-super-Mare, Puxton Park is an all-weather adventure haven that spans 40 acres of fun and excitement. Open nearly every day of the year, this family-friendly destination offers a plethora of activities to keep visitors entertained regardless of the weather. From adrenaline-pumping playgrounds and challenging assault courses to tranquil boat rides on the lake, there's something for everyone at Puxton Park.
I remember taking my older children here some years ago and then enjoying it. Return today with my youngest and she absolutely loved it. The whole Park feels very fresh and clean and there are lots more attractions than I remember. The soft play and slides are very well maintained And thoroughly enjoyed by all the children. The farm zoo has lots of animals and you can buy feed for them. We went on the train ride and tractor ride both included in the price. I was particularly impressed with the crazy golf. The sculptures of the octopus and whale were very impressive and you could see a lot of love had gone into creating this attraction. We had a late lunch in the restaurant which was very tasty and good value. The farm shop is well stocked and has a lovely butchers. It would definitely come again.
Paul G — Google review
Considering it was a bank holiday and half term, we found our experience rather disappointing and dull. No staff on the crazy golf, look like they have built a new one but that was locked off and the old one, well, no staff, no balls and rather tatty. The coffee at the soft play restaurant was like dishwater. The kids enjoyed the soft play, bumper boats, and the bouncing pillows, which, to be honest, a long way to travel and costly just for that. boating lake open, either. Animal talk was very good. Got to see a touch a boa constrictor, a lizard, and a mouse like creature. The animal handling staff were very knowledgeable and interacted with the children well.The farm shop was amazing. We got there at 1130 and were out of options by 1500. Ended up back in soft play, which, to be honest, could have done that locally. A lot of money for what it is. I had a sandwich, which was £3.50 and a children's meal was about £6. Will not be going again, sadly. Park needs some TLC in places. Staff were very helpful and friendly 🙂

Puxton Park is an absolutely fantastic place for a day out and I cannot recommend it enough. From the moment we arrived the atmosphere was welcoming and exciting. The car park is huge and completely free which makes things so much easier and stress free. Once inside there is so much to do for all ages. My personal favourite was the water bumper ride which had me laughing and getting soaked in the best way possible. I could have stayed on it all afternoon. I also loved feeding the animals. They are clearly well cared for and very friendly. There are goats alpacas sheep and many more and you can get up close which is such a fun experience. The indoor play area is massive and full of activities to keep children entertained for hours. Outside there are brilliant adventure playgrounds climbing frames and open spaces to run around. The tractor rides and the little train are perfect for taking a break while still enjoying the park. There is also a lovely café that serves tasty and reasonably priced food and drinks which is perfect for a pit stop. Everywhere is clean and well looked after and the staff are friendly and helpful. Puxton Park is one of those places where time flies because there is so much to see and do. Whether you are visiting with family friends or just want a fun day surrounded by animals and activities it is worth every penny. I am already looking forward to going back and enjoying it all over again.

Absolutely fantastic. Paid one entry free which was less than other parks around, paid £45 for a family of 4 (I had a blue light discount), and it was worth every penny. There are so many attractions that are included, didn’t pay a penny for anything besides an ice cream. There’s paddle boats, train, high ropes (and smaller one for littler children), and huge soft play, and lots more too. We spent the whole day interacting with animals and playing. It was clean and well looked after, staff were pleasant and friendly and animals seemed happy and well looked after. Absolutely brilliant, will be returning soon.

Great amusements, combined with animals, a small indoor zoo, a mini train, a mini Jeep ride, a massive play barn for all child ages, a cafe, restaurant, shop, picnic areas, a hedge maze, playgrounds including a giant bouncy pillow thing, boats, high rope activity, friendly staff, family safe environment. WiFi is available free of charge but limited phone signal. I particularly liked the new crazy golf, amazingly creative and attractively done. Really good job everyone!!! (So much there that I've probably forgotten something!)

Brilliant place to visit with family of all ages. I went with a group of 14 and all ages really enjoyed it, the train ride, park and the soft play area were really good. Different selection of animals to see and for £1 you can get a bag of animal feed to feed some of the animals with, an interesting and ticklish experience for some of the kids! :) We also purchased some fresh milk and also chocolate flavoured which was very tasty!
R A — Google review
Fantastic day out, I came with my 4 and 5 year olds and they were kept well entertained for 7 hours. They loved feeding the animals, enjoyed the interactive animal shows in the barn. I feel that the place offers great value for money. Only thing I would add is some seating area around the air bouncers, it gets very busy there and people tend to sit on the grass, would be nice to have benches etc and maybe a picnic area there. This was my second visit and should we return to the Weston area will definitely be visiting again.

A Fantastic Day Out for All Ages! We had such an amazing time at Puxton Park! We went with a group of adults and kids, and there was so much to do that everyone was entertained. It's not just a park for the little ones; the adults had just as much fun getting involved in all the activities. Slided can give you adrenaline too. Outdoor Splash games are nice as well. From the moment we arrived, the kids were off on an adventure. The range of things to do is incredible—the massive indoor play barn, the high ropes course, and the pedal go-karts were huge hits. There’s a real sense of adventure throughout the whole park, and we loved that it got the kids running around and trying new things. The little farm was amazing, there are more cute, animals 🦜 our favourite was the Amazon parrot wich was imitating a crying baby calling her mom , so cute. We have bought a fresh Tbone steak from farm shop at the exit, it was amazing 🥩 there's also fresh cow milk from the machines and a small souvenir shop I can't recommend Puxton Park enough. It’s a perfect mix of thrilling activities, animal encounters, and just good old-fashioned fun. We'll definitely be back soon!

Nestled along the stunning seafront of Weston-super-Mare, the Water Adventure Play Park is a delightful outdoor haven for children seeking fun and excitement. This vibrant play area features an impressive wooden structure alongside an interactive aquatic playground filled with fountains, sprays, and jets that activate with sensors. Perfect for those hot summer days, this park offers a safe environment where kids can splash around to their heart's content without the worry of deep water.
Such good value you can't go wrong! My daughter loves it it does get busy in the holidays. Cafe in site too which is handy and toilets also. The play area is good if your little one wants a break from the water park bit. It's close to the beach and you pay once and can come in and out all day.

Rico B — Google review
This has been on my list to go to for quite some time, and it did not disappoint! We didn't actually stay very long because the weather was dull, my daughter had a cold and after getting wet we wanted to get her warm. However, I can't wait to go back on a sunny day. The staff were amazing, they actually let us in for free (due to the weather), whereas it's £3 for all day per child usually. We offered to pay upon leaving too but they just said they were glad we had a good time and not to worry about it! What lovely people!! The park itself is great and is split into what I would say is 3 sections, with ample grassy spaces in between. There's a smaller children's area with swings, a slide, etc. Then there's an older children's area at the back (we didn't get a chance to venture over that far), and lastly, the water park section. The water was so much fun. I'd say the temperature of the water was tepid- definitely not as cold as I expected it to be. The ground was colourful and a great fun experience for myself and my daughter. I couldn't wait to get stuck in as an adult! There's an ice cream hut and a small cafe. We got some hot chocolate when we were there which was tasty. I can imagine it's very popular in the summer. It has a great location; right opposite the sea front, and with Melrose Car Park right next door.

£3 per child, come and go all day, nice little water park with a lot of other play apparatus also. Kids really enjoyed themselves. Nice little cafe attached to the side, lovely hot chocolate. Woudl return if in Weston again
Michael C — Google review
For £3 per child it's a bargain. Free entry for adults too. Pay and display carpark right next door and located opposite the beach. Security constantly monitored on entry with separate exit. There is a friendly onsite cafe who offered the best custome service. Families can camp out with picnic blankets and camp chairs whilst kids play across the varied aged playgrounds. However, long queues for the only two toilets and half of the changing facilities were closed. I do hope this is resolved. Overall good and do recommend. Thank you to the owners and organisers.
Kel ! — Google review
updated review. Went there today 14/9/24. free for September which was great most things actually on and working ( except the castle) kids had a ball. I think 3 pound entry is a little steep and its about average for a mocha at £3.50. old review. Great in the summer pretty mundane on a cold day lol kids were done in 20mins.
Jake W — Google review
I popped here with my 4yo girls to take advantage of a rare sunny afternoon. The girls were thoroughly entertained for 2.5hours and could have lasted longer if I’d let them! The new double zip line was a hit, as was the splash pad but I think they enjoyed the general sense of freedom I was able to allow them in a safe enclosed environment. (although the park was very quiet when we visited) The staff were really welcoming and friendly. They even encouraged me to bring a picnic or fish and chips next time to make a real day of it - such a good idea! At £3 per child (adults free) to come and go as you please all day I think it’s an absolute steal! Top tip: wear a wetsuit and water shoes so kids can easily swap between play park and splash park. Also if there’s a wind it can be a bit chilly in the water!

Birnbeck Pier in Weston-super-Mare has been closed and abandoned since 1994, making it an unusual sight for visitors. Despite its state of disrepair, the Grade 2 listed pier still attracts attention due to its historical significance and picturesque setting. Although public access is prohibited for safety reasons, the pier's unique architecture and scenic views make it a popular spot for photography enthusiasts.
You can't go on the pier, but it is interesting to look at as you can still the facilities that were on the pier when it was open.

I remember going on this pier as a child so it always brings back memories coming to see it again. It's fantastic that they are finally renovating it with an opening date of 2028 I believe. They have a little information centre on site and people to give you information on what's happening. Can't wait to be able to walk along it again soon!

I've given this place a high rating even though it's not open and is a restoration project. If you like history , especially the enigmatic history of Victorian seaside towns then you'll enjoy the little visitor centre (lovely staff) and the views of the abandoned pier. This really is a place worth supporting imo

A lovely old Pier that is Grade 2 listed which has been allowed to get into a right old state. By all accounts, it's going to be saved. You can't go on or near it due obviously to it's state, but still worth a picture or 3

Was gutted! Turned up buzzing to play the arcades, grab a 99, maybe lose a quid in a 2p machine… only to find the pier’s shut, derelict, and one seagull away from collapse. Crushed.

I live in Weston super mare and it's a shame to see this pier going into the sea slowly, pretty sure nobody is backing the donations, just get rid of the eye soar, although I hear the RNLI are getting it back which would be great!

Lake
Marine Lake is a picturesque man-made lake located at the northern end of Weston's main beach. Filled with sea water, it provides a serene setting for photography enthusiasts to capture expressive shots in any weather. The lake features a causeway with chain railings, offering irresistible views of the sea, especially during sunset when silhouettes of couples against the backdrop of Steep Holm Island create stunning scenes.
I love marine lake. From cold evening walks, to sun bathing and swimming on a hot summers day. A credit to our town.

A great place to have a paddle or a swim. It's a local hot spot in the summer and is often packed late into the evening. There are plenty of pubs and restaurants nearby and ice cream shops and cafes can also be found. Even the RNLI are stationed there and can often be seen milling about chatting. There is a little beach art one end so little ones can paddle safely. There has even been some steps added into the water to male it all safer.

Worlebury Hillfort, an ancient Iron Age site perched above Weston-super-Mare, is a fascinating destination for history enthusiasts and nature lovers alike. Accessible via a scenic path from the Weston Woods car park, visitors are treated to stunning vistas of Sand Point and Brean Down, as well as sweeping views of Weston Bay.
A beautiful walk on a sunny day. Well signposted with an easier track for the mobility conscious.

Great walk through the woods. The hillfort itself is in ruins (no surprise given its age). I took the steps up via Trinity Road - these were steep and partially fallen away so i would recommend wearing walking boots. Some great views through gaps in the trees. Perfect for dog walkers, although beware there is a bridleway too so may be horses about.
Anna C — Google review
We had a great circular walk up to this Hillfort from a car park near Sandbay. Took about 1 hr 20 with some kessing around at the top. Muddy after some rain so recommend wellies ot walking shoes. I really enjoyed exploring the hill fort at the top and taking in the views of both Weston piers. There is also something magical about the iron fort itself with the twisty trees and iron age storage pits. Apparently a lot of the pits had human remains in them. Believe the Belgae were once here before the Romans arrived! We were able to park for free outside of a car park.

Love walking along the top of the hill above Weston-super-Mare through the woods to the end of the peninsula and looking out over the old pier towards Wales. Lots of work is going into clearing the fort area of scrub and trees at the moment, presumably to preserve the site, as had been quite difficult to see where everything was. Some lovely trees that yhe carefully tended paths wound their way through; lots of holm oak, holly, beech, yew, birch and the poor old ash, quite a lot having been cut down presumably to die back. Ivy trails on lots of trunks. Great views on this clear day to the south, looking over the beach curving away, the pier, and the town towards Brean Down. And to the north over Sand Bay.

A recent trip to Worlebury woods. i was impressed with it. the pathways. layout and things to see made it a great afternoon out. walked 5000 steps didnt even notice i had. i came across the Hillfort. this is the only part that seems to have not changed at all from what i remember years ago. its still several piles of rocks. it would be nice to see some kind of rework done. maybe some type of consrtuction of a fort or bits of a fort. there is so much scope for it. in my opionion its still worth a 5 star review in its current state as its a small part of a much bigger pictire which is the Worlebury wood itself.
Steve B — Google review
Incredible hillfort with a series of clearly visible ditches and ramparts. Within there are numerous storage pits clearly visible. Volunteers are doing a great job at keeping the site cleared. Glimpses of views to Sand Point northwards and Weston to the south. Must go back

Nature preserve
Uphill Marina Nature Reserve is a stunning destination for those seeking breathtaking views and a connection with nature. Nestled just outside Uphill village, this reserve invites visitors to hike up its grassy slopes to discover the remnants of an old windmill tower, where panoramic vistas await. From here, you can gaze over Weston Super Mare, the picturesque Somerset levels, the Welsh hills in the distance, and even catch sight of the historic St Nicholas church.
Parking was a little harder this time, but one always comes up. Parking on Beach is allowed for a small price. It's a very steep walk uphill to the church, no path, just grass. Remember to walk to watch Tower just over the hill and back down to cycle path. Follow path around again to walk parallel to the harbour across the fields and onto the beach. Lovely views of Brean down, walk right round across the sand to go to WSM if you wish

A lovely spot here in Weston super mare. Uphill nature reserve. I recently did the walk here which i recommend. I started at Folly lane in the village. There isnt a car park at this end but plenty of street parking or as i did i parked near the boat yard and walked back to folly lane. The path goes past a static caravan park and leads into a woodland. Its sign posted well. I went through a gate on the right and continued up through the woodland. Its not a very steep climb. leading me through the trees and then what looked like a lovely meadow scattered with bluebells. at the point theres an opening in the trees and i walked out onto the Uphill hill. Here the field is full of buttercup flowers. the bright yellow against the green hill is a picture. I could see the Uphill beacon in the distance so i headed for that. its a stone tower on the hill top. legend has it. it was used to spot invaders way back in history and they would light Beacon to warn the locals. i also heard the Beacon is one of many with line of sight that reach all the way to Glastonbury. From the Beacon i could see the Church of St Nicholas. So i headed there. This Church is very old and located just off the Cliff top. I left the Church and headed back towards the Beacon going past it keeping it to my left. and headed down the hill towards the new coastal path Route 33. This path here is smooth tarmac. When i reached the path i turned right heading down towards the old Boat yard. This path took me along side of the rocky cliffs to my right. Uphill marine lake on my left and the old Church high on the hill top. Theres benches around here to sit. A litle further on and i could hear the clanging of bells or wires from the boat yard. and found a little cafe called Uphill Warf Cafe Bar. Theres seating outside and rails to lock up bicycles. theres toilets here but only for customers. I found a public toilet just outside the entrance to the boat yard as you leave turn left towards the beach and its about 100 yards on the right. I found a small car park on the loose ground just past the cafe. and another small car park at the entrance to the boat yard. Theres always plenty of near by street parking in the village. A real nice walk offering stunning views and full of bits of History.

The Weston Sand Sculpture Festival is a spectacular annual event that transforms the beach of Weston-super-Mare into a stunning gallery of sand art. Each year, talented sculptors from around the world gather to create over 30 intricate sculptures using just sand and water, showcasing their skills in a friendly competition where visitors can vote for their favorites. With new themes introduced annually, this festival has become a beloved highlight on Somerset's cultural calendar, attracting more than 5 million visitors each year.
Staff were really friendly and polite a refreshing change to some of the places I've been. The sculptures were absolutely amazing! The little competition for the best sculpture was a nice touch and the kids enjoyed having a voice and it really got them interested and feeling important enough to have an opinion that matter. (Some.kids may not have that in their young life) there is a small container with a video on how the sculptures were made but we couldn't stay in there for long as the temperature in there was breath taking. Over all a great experience for the kids, not massive and probably a little over priced for what you see and the very short time round but certainly worth the money with regards to a different talking point and experience for the kids. Thank you to all involved, especially the staff at the counter

What an unexpected display , we went in out of curiosity . We were amazed of the sculptures the 2018 theme circus , the detail and enormity of the sculptures is one to see for yourselves . It runs from march to October and is then bulldozed and work begins the following January ready for the next season . Artists from all over come to display this very unique skill Well worth the entrance fee 4 pound adults 3 pound child . Looking forward to next year's display .

Entrance fee is £4. Excellent sculptures considering they are made of compacted sand. Different theme each year with this year's theme being circus. There are plenty of photo opportunities with the sculptures. Worth a visit but maybe not with really young children as you can't touch the sculptures.

Grove Park is a charming green space located near the seafront in Weston-super-Mare. It features well-maintained lawns, a rock garden, tennis courts, and a children's play area. The park also boasts a grade-II listed Victorian bandstand where free live music events take place during the summer months. Visitors can join outdoor Tai Chi and yoga sessions for free. Additionally, there's a plant-based cafe called Sprout offering oat milk lattes and delicious cakes.
This was a beautiful park for a wandering around, with different trees adorning the landscape including palm ones even in November at the time I visited! I liked how the enclosed walkway between two areas of the park has trees right above and the bushes are pretty themselves, especially when covering walls over. The miniature ladder in one area is a glorious addition and I appreciated the bandstand's presence too, one rock hand even holds a Poppy! Benches are scattered around to sit on, pathway is provided fully for those avoiding the grass and it is easy to find this park from the seafront.

This small park is a hidden gem! Despite its size, it’s beautifully maintained and has a peaceful vibe that makes it perfect for a quick escape from the daily hustle. The landscaping is thoughtful, with lush greenery, well-placed benches, and even a few colorful flower beds that add a lot of charm. There’s a lovely walking path winding through it, perfect for a short stroll or even a bit of reading in the fresh air. The best part is how serene it feels – it’s like a little oasis where you can unwind, enjoy nature, and recharge.💚✨

Uphill Beach in Weston Super Mare is a tranquil escape located at the south end of the main beach strip. It's popular for kitesurfing and windsurfing, with ample space to park on the beach and set up safely. However, visitors should be cautious of the fast incoming tide. The soft sands and scenic views make it an ideal spot for leisurely walks or simply relaxing by the sea.

Uphill Beach in Weston-super-Mare is my favorite local secret! This tranquil stretch of beach is the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of the main tourist areas, offering a peaceful and picturesque spot to relax and unwind. The beach has a natural charm, with stunning views of the sea, sand dunes, Brean Down and surrounding countryside. It’s the ideal place for a quiet stroll, a picnic, or simply to sit and enjoy the serenity. Whether you’re walking along the shoreline or exploring the nearby Uphill Marina, the atmosphere here is calm and inviting. What makes Uphill Beach even more special is how quiet it is compared to the busier parts of Weston-super-Mare. It feels like a hidden gem that’s just waiting to be discovered. It’s also dog-friendly, which is a big bonus if you’re looking to enjoy some time outdoors with your four-legged friends. For those who love nature and tranquility, Uphill Beach is an absolute must-visit. It’s a place that locals treasure, and once you experience its charm, you’ll see why. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a peaceful retreat by the sea.

I love Uphill Beach. I grew up in the village, and although I don't live there now, it's still home to me. So why 4 stars, not 5, you might ask? Quite simply that the council's management of rhe area has gone downhill in recent years - the beach should be 5* without question, but the behaviour of the council is nothing but idiotic at time, particularly over the parking (roadside for when beach is shut) and poor use of signposts both on the road and the beach and lack of proper distribution of bins since Covid lock downs ended - they don't spread them out properly anymore as they can't be bothered to empty them and move them for high tides. This leads to tourists leaving little (if they can't see a bin, they often won't bother loomibg for them.

National Trust - Sand Point is a perfect spot near Weston to enjoy stunning views and a coastal walk. The National Trust carpark at the end of a narrow road offers access to the coastal walk, which starts with steps up a hill and through a gate. The path along the top can be rocky but leads to beautiful views. Visitors can explore the peaceful area with wildlife and wildflowers, listen to the waves hitting the rocks below, and enjoy a quieter alternative to Weston-super-Mare.

Love it here! Visited today and enjoyed a wonderful walk, picnic & ice cream 🍦 ….bit of a let down was the parking app 😣 which didn’t work so we had to drive two miles out & park up in the street & walk back… Not sure about all these apps, it frustrates us because it really inhibits older people who also want to enjoy these locations but perhaps can’t use smart phones in the same way as younger visitors. We are only in our 40s and we couldn’t get the app to work 🤪 Despite this….we would highly recommend a visit here. Pack your rucksack & enjoy a good hike, plenty of space to explore and enjoy wonderful views. Grassy tracks, benches, coves. Plethora of wildlife, get for twitchers…we loved hearing the skylarks. The ice cream 🍦 van was a welcome relief on a warm day…£3 & was deeee…lish!

We had a lovely walk along the beach. We parked in the far car park (National Trust) which you pay by app and it was £5 for yhe while day (regardless of which it is). The tide was out and it was a hot sunny August day, perfect for the a walk with my two little granddaughters (3 and 6). We walked along the beach to the car park with a bus stop and ice cream kiosk. We ate are picnic and them bought a lovely ice cream and walked back along the beach to build. Sandcastles.

A simple walk (definitely not a hike) with some great views (particularly on clear days) and opportunities to see some cool birds if you're into that kinda thing. Fair warning that it can be fairly busy, so don't expect to go out there and be on your own. There are a few benches around the place for a sit down, but none with any shelter from the elements, so probably better off on a sunny day. Also it's paid parking, but it's pretty cheap, and there's an ice cream truck in the car park, so that's nice.

The Italian Gardens is a delightful oasis just outside the bustling city center, offering a serene escape for visitors. This flat and well-maintained area features ample seating, although some benches near the fountains have seen better days. Families can enjoy watching playful children splashing in the fountains, which seem to dance gracefully in the breeze. It's an ideal spot to unwind after a day of shopping or simply savor some ice cream while soaking up the sun.
At the Eat Taste Festival here today. It's a great space for functions . Right next to the High Street and Sovereign Centre.

Lovely area to sit and chill when you visit Weston. We come once a year for a day out and just love it

Lovely place to sit and relax on a beautiful summer day. The fountains create a calm atmosphere right in the heart of Weston-super-Mare. Plenty of benches, nice open space, and easy access to cafés nearby. Perfect spot to take a break and watch the world go by.

Visited during the EAT:Festival, which was simply amazing! So many traders selling lots of different offerings. Everyone was absolutely lovely, and I bought a lot of goodies!

A great area located just outside of the sovereign centre. The area is flat and clean with plenty of space. There's plenty of seating, however some of the benches around the fountains have recently been damaged sadly. My son enjoyed playing in the fountains more so than the splash park around the corner. The dog also thankfully enjoyed washing himself off in them after his play on the beach. Beautiful to just sit and enjoy the area while listening to the sound of water as much as it is having fun and playing in them. If you're in the area check them out

This place has changed over the years, but still manages to remain a centerpiece area of the town. Used for all kinds of functions, on this occasion it was being used to host a food festival. Well maintained and a great place to meet.

Nestled within a charming park, Clarence Park Cafe is the perfect escape for anyone looking to enjoy a delightful meal or drink. Just a short stroll from home, this quaint cafe offers an array of delicious options, including scrumptious hot chocolates and fresh food that can be enjoyed on-site or ordered online. The friendly staff ensure quick service even during busy times, making it an ideal spot for families and dog owners alike.
What a lovely spot! We stopped by for a coffee and were delighted by the delicious red velvet muffins, creamy hot chocolate, and perfectly brewed coffee. It's a charming, dog-friendly place—even offering ice cream for our furry friends, which was such a sweet touch! I’m especially thankful to the kind staff who found and safely returned my daughter’s phone after someone kindly handed it in. Their honesty and helpfulness truly meant a lot to us. We had a wonderful time enjoying the treats and warm atmosphere. Highly recommend for anyone looking for great drinks, sweets, and genuine hospitality!

Popped in here to escape the storm blowing on the front. The staff were very welcoming and obliging. Lovely cuppa brought to our table, served with a smile. I suggest that anyone reading these reviews disregards the one star review below and give this lovely little cafe your custom.

Great cafe. Breakfast bap and a cappuccino recommended. I'm really happy to have a wonderful cafe so close to my house. But, be warned : They make proper cappuccinos with a dash of milk and loads of froth. If you take it back complaining you want more milk, then you have ordered the wrong coffee. You wanted a latte... 🤔

Love this place. Breakfast is amazing. And the lady who cooks the breakfast agreed to cook 4x fry ups for us even though breakfast stopped 45 mins earlier. Very grateful for the customer service...seems to be dying in other establishments. Beautiful surroundings, delicious food, and great service!

Lovely place for relaxing so nice to see loads of squirrels and wildlife perfect

I have read the recent negative review and cannot disagree more. My wife and I come to The Clarence most days of the week and find it to be clean, the staff are very accommodating and pleasant; nothing appears to be too much trouble and the food is very good. The park itself is lovely and it just goes to show you cannot please all of the people all of the time.
Kelvin S — Google review
This place is terrible since the present company took over. The cafe was filthy, the two female staff were disinterested and their uniforms were also filthy. We only had coffee and that was enough. It was little more than weakly flavoured milk, and we were charged Costa prices for it! So, do yourself a favour, enjoy the park by all means, but if you want a decent cup of coffee without being ripped off, walk in to town and go to a proper coffee shop.
David T — Google review
Lovely service by a beautiful all female team. Iced coffees and a tasty fry-up in spacious outdoor seating is a proper treat. Well worth a visit
