Weston-super-Mare & North Somerset Summer Adventure

Weston-super-Mare & North Somerset Summer Adventure

If you’re looking for a relaxing, great value midweek break by the sea, then this 5 day trip to the original British seaside resort of Weston-super-Mare is an ideal choice.

Sitting on the North Somerset coast with its two-mile long sandy beach, Weston has reinvented itself from its Victorian beginnings but retains much of its original charm. It still offers the traditional favourites like the donkey rides and amusements but it has also undergone a renaissance with new restaurants and attractions, so, even if you have been here before, you might not recognise it from your earlier memories. The impressive Grand Pier, stretching out to sea, is a kaleidoscope of fun, and you’ll also find cafes, restaurants and bars to suit every taste and the seafront is conveniently close to the town centre with its many independent shops. The long flat promenade has plenty of benches and seats so you can take a rest whenever you want and milk in the view as you look out across to Wales with the islands of Flat Holm and Steep Holm in between.

You’ll stay right in the heart of Weston in the comfortable family-run Royal Grosvenor Hotel, overlooking the sea and the impressive Grand Pier and making it easy for you to explore and enjoy this pretty seaside resort at your leisure. Your holiday will also include entertainment at the hotel on some nights, unless you’d prefer to head off into Weston to enjoy the nightlife.

For those looking to stay busy, we’ve included some lovely excursions for you to enjoy, but if you just fancy sitting on the pier watching the world go by, then that is absolutely fine too!

If you wish to explore further, we include a day out to the tiny medieval city of Wells, the smallest city in England, and the village of Cheddar with its quaint tearooms, gentle riverside walks and a variety of restaurants and cafes. You can also experience legendary Glastonbury, possibly the quirkiest town in England, steeped in history and myth, along with a stop in Street, Somerset’s largest village, home of Clarks Village which was the UK’s first ever outlet shopping centre to open and now offers a wide range of discounted retail stores and dining options.

An ideal choice for:

* Anyone looking for a relaxing midweek break by the sea to do as much or as little as you want
* People who love to have the choice of doing their own thing or joining in with others
* Anyone just looking to switch off and have some fun
