Home/Things to do
Attractions, walks and days out near Harmony Apartments, and how far each one is.
Beach
50 metres
Right outside
Cross the road and you are on it. Three miles of flat sand at low tide, and the second largest tidal range in the world - the sea goes a long way out and comes back quickly. Donkeys in summer, kites all year.
Attraction
9 minutes
On the seafront
The pavilion at the end has burned down twice, in 1930 and again in 2008, and been rebuilt both times. Go for the arcade, the go-kart track, the laser maze, and the view back at the town from halfway out over the water.
Outdoors
7 minutes
North end of the bay
A cove by Knightstone held behind a causeway, so it keeps its sea water whatever the tide is doing. Open-water swimmers use it year round. The walk along the causeway is the best five minutes in Weston.
Attraction
20 minutes
Marine Parade
The old lido, now an events space on the sand. Banksy filled it with Dismaland one summer. Check what is on before you go - it changes completely from one month to the next.
Culture
12 minutes
All over town
Weston has quietly turned its gable ends into an outdoor gallery. Big pieces on the walls behind the high street, and a few you will only find by taking the wrong turning.
Culture
11 minutes
Burlington Street
Free, small, and much better than it needs to be. The seaside gallery is the reason to go, and the courtyard cafe is where the town actually drinks its coffee.
Outdoors
5 minutes
Behind the seafront
A steep Victorian park cut into the hillside, with a bandstand at the bottom and a view over the roofs to the water from the top path. The quickest way to be somewhere green.
Outdoors
25 minutes by car
South of the bay
A limestone headland running a mile and a half out into the Channel, with a Victorian fort at the end of it. Steps up, wind across the top, and the whole of Somerset behind you.
Day out
25 minutes by car
The Mendips
The deepest gorge in the country, with caves under it and a road through the middle. Do the clifftop walk first and the caves after, and buy the cheese on the way out.
Attraction
10 minutes by car
Locking Moor Road
The largest helicopter collection in the world, in a hangar on the edge of town. Two royal helicopters, a Russian gunship, and open-cockpit days where you can sit in them.
Day out
25 minutes by car
Up the coast
The only Grade I listed pier in England, and worth the drive for the ironwork alone. Fish and chips on the front, then the Poets Walk round the headland.
Food
5 minutes
Five minutes out the door
The Old Thatched Cottage and Il Michelangelo are both five minutes away, and The Imperial, Revo Kitchen and The Ginger Pig Kitchen are six.
