Local Area

Brean beach can be accessed directly across the road from us here at Holiday Resort Unity. Offering seven miles of flat golden sands, it is ideal for a day out at the seaside! Dogs are welcome on the beach all year round, and it is patrolled by wardens from 1st May to 30th September. Parking is available both on the beach and in the National Trust Car Park, but please abide to all tidal and beach warnings due to the mud exposed at low tide. The beautiful sands reach the stunning sites of Berrow Beach, too – you’ll be spoilt for choice as to where to build those sandcastles and light the barbecues.

Brean Down Tropical Bird Garden is situated on the edge of the National Trust land in an area of outstanding natural beauty and only a few yards from the beach. It’s a great place to bring the family and an ideal opportunity to discover the rare beauty associated with tropical birds found throughout the world. There is a licensed café with indoor and outdoor seating areas and a gift shop. The Bird Garden is open from April to October from 10am until dusk.

A haven for nature lovers and the outdoorsy types – Brean Down is a National Trust site which, from the top, offers breathtaking panoramic views of Brean, Berrow, Burnham-on-Sea, and Weston-super-Mare. If you’re lucky enough to be greeted with the southern sunshine of Brean’s weather then you’ll also be able to see coastal views of South Wales. Depending on the season, goats, ponies, and cattle graze on the down, and you can also see the ancient fort, known as Brean Down Fort. Steeped in history, these ancient buildings have been in place since the mid 1800s. The walk is steep, but if you do have mobility issues, a new, all-terrain mobility scooter that can go ‘off road’ has arrived at Brean Down, so you can still enjoy a great day out with the family (pre-booking is essential). Just like here with us, the Down is pet-friendly and dogs are extremely welcome (and encouraged). However, due to grazing animals and steep drops, it is essential they are kept on a lead at all times. Don’t worry if you forget the picnic basket, either, because at the bottom of the Down is a National Trust shop and café, with toilets, and a car park (charges apply).

Just a short drive away you can visit Weston-Super-Mare along the Somerset Coast. The long stretches of glorious, sandy beach, Weston-super-Mare has lots to offer and is mostly on the level with no steep walkways to access the beach. It is also home to The Grand Pier which is the ideal destination for non-stop indoor theme park fun. With rides, attractions & the largest arcade games, a visit to the Pier is the perfect treat for kids.

The smallest city in England is home to Wells Cathedral, The Bishops Palace and many more beautiful landmarks. Wells is a key stop on any tour of Somerset and many international film and TV series continue to be filmed here each year.
