Minehead - Out And About
Minehead is the perfect place from which to explore the South West
Coastal Path, Exmoor, and the surrounding area.
The town centre has
a wide choice of pubs and restaurants, all within walking distance of
Butlins. For a very good carvery or pub meal, and excellent play area for
the kids, we recommend the Hairy Dog on Minehead High Street. Nearby
Mullions Restaurant serves an excellent A La Carte menu and offers a very
warm welcome.
For sports fans, the Queens Hall pub on the promenade
has a 26 foot TV screen and shows all the major events. It also serves
food and has a children's play area downstairs to keep the kids occupied
during the match.
Minehead is the home of the West Somerset Steam
Railway where you can take a trip into the past on a steam train, or take
part in one of the many events such as Murder Mystery Tours.
In
the town centre there is a good selection of shops and a large market
twice a week during the high season. A farmers market is held on The
Avenue every Friday and a 20 acre car boot sale every Sunday just half a
mile from the sea front.
If you want to travel
further a-field, there are lots of places to visit,
including:
-
Tropiquaria
-
West Somerset Steam
Railway
-
Cheddar Gorge
-
Cleeve Abbey
-
Golf Course - next to the
resort (discounted fees for Butlins guests)
-
Dunster Castle
-
Horse-riding across
Exmoor
-
Porlock Hill and
Village
