Minehead really does offer a great deal for a wide range of tastes. A fabulous base for walking, it also offers an excellent sandy beach, a harbour, a spacious prom', a lively holiday centre, a railway terminus, comprehensive shopping and a wealth of cultural, historical and literary associations. Minehead preserves much of its 'old world' charm despite offering the visitor a vibrant modern holiday or touring centre. Visit St Michael's church on the hill or seek out the 'hobby horse'; you won't be disappointed.
