Kingston Seymour is
a small rural village on the coast between Clevedon and Weston
super Mare. The village church is a grade 1 listed
building and worth a visit.
A walk to the seawall
is also worth a trip - the area is a designated SSSI (site of
special scientific interest) and is renowned for its bird-life so
remember to bring your binoculars.
The town of Clevedon
is 4.5 miles away with its restored
Victorian Pier and
Bandstand, Poet’s Walk, Salt House Playing Fields and National
Trust property
Clevedon Court.
At Wraxall (halfway
between Kingston Seymour & Bristol) is the recently acquired National
Trust property
Tyntesfield House
- well worth a visit in our opinion.
We are just 15 miles south
of the city of Bristol with endless attractions such as the
Cathedral, the
Zoo, the
SS Great Britain,
The Matthew,
Clifton Suspension Bridge, the
Museum, the excellent
@Bristol complex
and the brand-new Cabot Shopping Centre.
At Junction 17 of the M5
there is the very popular shopping mall at
Cribbs Causeway.
In the opposite direction
we are 12 miles from the popular seaside resort of Weston super Mare
with the Seaquarium,
Pier
(it is currently being rebuilt following a fire) and shops and, of
course, the beach and donkey rides.
Bath, with its many
attractions is easily reached by car or by train (Yatton railway station
is 2.5 miles away, 5 minutes drive from the cottages).
Other notable areas to
visit are Cheddar Gorge and Caves;
Wookey Hole and Caves;
the historic City of Wells with its beautiful
Cathedral
and the
Bishop’s Palace; Glastonbury
with its beautiful and mystical
Tor; The Mendip Hills
for walking. Have a look at the
Hidden Somerset website for
some interesting places too.
