  • MINEHEAD | A full seaside holiday town tour from Minehead Town Centre to the Railway Station and Butlins Minehead on the seafront. We'll take a look at the beach and amusement arcades as well as the hotels, shops, bars and restaurants.
    Minehead, a delightful seaside town nestled on the shores of the Bristol Channel, offers a quintessential English escape. This vibrant town caters to a variety of interests, whether you crave adventure on the Exmoor moorland, relaxation on the sandy beach, or a glimpse into the town's rich history.
    For the active adventurer, Minehead serves as the gateway to Exmoor National Park. Hike or bike along scenic trails, marvel at cascading waterfalls, and spot Exmoor ponies grazing freely in the lush green meadows. Keen equestrians can even embark on a horseback riding adventure across the open moorland.
    If relaxation is your priority, Minehead's golden beach beckons. Stretch out on the soft sand and soak up the sunshine, or take a refreshing dip in the calm waters. Families can build sandcastles, try their hand at paddleboarding or kayaking, or explore the rock pools teeming with marine life.
    History buffs will find themselves captivated by Minehead's past. Explore Dunster Castle, a magnificent structure that has transformed from a Norman fortress to a Victorian country house. The castle, now managed by the National Trust, offers a glimpse into the lives of the Luttrell family who called it home for over 600 years.
    Back in Minehead, wander along the charming streets lined with independent shops and cafes. The West Somerset Railway, a heritage railway, offers a nostalgic journey on a steam train, chugging through idyllic countryside. Channel Adventure provides opportunities for water sports enthusiasts to kayak, sail, or take a thrilling coasteering adventure.
    Minehead caters to all tastes. Whether you seek adventure on Exmoor, relaxation on the beach, or a journey through time, this charming seaside town guarantees an unforgettable experience.

    We took our son and his friend to Butlins here about 30 years ago. Visited Minehead for the day a couple of years ago and loved it. It’s got a nice vibe and it feels like a proper seaside town. Nice to see it again.

    Thank you for this lovely tour around Minehead. It has bought back such a lot of good memories for me when I worked at Butlins in my youth. I had a good five months there, and it’s good to see it again and to see not a lot has changed. Thanks it’s nice to go down memory lane😊

    I wonder 🤔 if that's Gimbal Walks TV? 🙂 I'd definitely come over and say hello and thank you for making my life better Neil 👍 Minehead looks really nice. Lots to see and do. Great beach etc. I've been told it's better than Weston Super Mere but 🤷

    Can any Minehead locals tell me what the white buildings in South Wales you can see across the channel? I'm guessing it's Cardiff Bay.
