Weston-Super-Mare, Somerset
With heaps of Victorian history, Weston-Super-Mare on the Somerset coast has all the merriment of a traditional seaside town, with golden sandy beaches where you can get stuck into some good old bucket and spade fun, have a donkey ride in the sunshine, or enjoy an ice cream whilst you watch the world go by. Take a stroll along the Grand Pier, home to the Playhouse Theatre, or explore the bustling high street with independent shopping areas, and the former Tropicana Lido hosting regular theatre events. If you fancy trying an eaterie in Weston, The Milton Larder is popular for breakfast, light lunches, snacks and cakes, or Bare Grills is often a hit with the youngsters with its steakhouse/American grill menu. For a vintage afternoon tea try The Blitz Tearoom.
