About

Minehead covers a compact area along the Bristol Channel coastline. Its central feature is the extensive, gently sloping beach of sand and pebbles, backed by a traditional seafront promenade. The town's historic quay area, once a busy port, now serves as a marina and forms a distinct neighbourhood separated by a steep, wooded hill. The urban layout climbs from the shore into the surrounding slopes, with residential streets ascending towards the Exmoor National Park fringe.

The harbour's outer wall is one of the longest tidal breakwaters in the country, a substantial stone structure that defines the harbour's shape. Inland, the town centre is focused around a parish church and a high street with a mix of local businesses. The area includes the lower station for the historic cliff railway, which provides a direct link from the town up to the wooded hillside and open moorland above.
