About

Weston Town is a coastal area in North Somerset, centred around its seafront and historic Grand Pier. The main beach is expansive, with a notable tidal range that reveals large stretches of sand and mudflats at low water. The town's layout includes a mix of Victorian architecture and more recent developments, with commercial activity focused along the High Street and surrounding thoroughfares.

A specific feature is the presence of Birnbeck Pier, a separate and disused structure leading to a small island, which contrasts with the main tourist pier. Inland areas transition into residential districts and green spaces like Grove Park. The local economy is closely tied to seasonal tourism and its function as a residential centre within the wider region.
