Minehead

Minehead is in the heart of the area known as the Somerset Riviera, a string of resorts that perfectly sum up the traditional English seaside. The classic seafront area has everything you want from a coastal town – benches from which to savour the view, palm trees, extravagant floral displays and plenty of green spaces. Children are in heaven here with a beach made for bucket and spade action, and with Exmoor just a short hop away, there is plenty of opportunity to explore the great outdoors.

Old Cleeve

A tiny Exmoor village in the north east of the National Park, Old Cleeve has changed little in generations. The whole of Exmoor stretches out from the doorstep here, with heather and gorse-tangled valleys, streams, wild ponies and total tranquillity. Visitors come at all times of year to enjoy this pristine wilderness; Exmoor has a different face for each season, from the soft green lushness of spring to the snow-sprinkled crispness of winter.

Selworthy

A pretty village of chocolate box thatched cottages set in the National Trust's Holnicote Estate. Wonderful countryside surrounds you with views over the Vale of Porlock and access to Selworthy Beacon.

Watchet

Just along the Somerset coast from its bigger and more famous sister resort Minehead, Watchet is a quiet little harbour town with a long maritime history. The Quantock Hills rise behind Watchet and beaches fringe the town to the east and west, providing lots of opportunity for water sports, cycling, walking and horse riding. The West Somerset Railway, which runs through Watchet, is a fun way to see the coast here – all the trains are classic steam locomotives.
