Christmas / New Year We have a 5 foot lit Christmas tree that will be
laid out in the dining room for Christmas week. The region
Minehead is the largest town on the edge of Exmoor National Park, a
welcoming seaside resort on the Somerset coast with stunning views
across the Bristol Channel to Wales.
The town is best known as the starting point of the South West Coast
Path, England’s longest National Trail, which stretches 630 miles from
the harbour here all the way to Poole Harbour in Dorset. A sculpture
marking Mile Zero stands on the seafront near the old harbour. Minehead
has been a working port since the 14th century, and the quay area
retains much of its historic charm with narrow lanes and fishermen’s
cottages clustered at the foot of North Hill.
Higher Town, the oldest part of Minehead, sits on the slopes above the
harbour and is home to the medieval Church of St Michael, reached by a
steep footpath known as Church Steps that winds between thatched
cottages with far-reaching views over the rooftops and out to sea. The
Parade and The Avenue form the main shopping streets, where you will
find independent shops, cafes, restaurants, and takeaways alongside
everyday services. Tesco and Morrisons supermarkets are both on the
outskirts of town with long opening hours, and there are banks, a Post
Office, pharmacies, and petrol stations.
Blenheim Gardens, opened in 1925, provides six acres of green space in
the centre of town with a bandstand, putting green, bowling green, and
a pleasant cafe. The medieval village of Dunster, with its castle, yarn
market, and tea rooms, is barely two miles away. Every May, Minehead’s
ancient Hobby Horse tradition brings colour and music to the streets --
a centuries-old celebration of the arrival of spring that is unique to
this part of Somerset.
