Minehead, Coastal town in Somerset West and Taunton, England
Minehead extends along the Bristol Channel with a long sandy beach backed by hills leading to Exmoor National Park.
The town developed from a medieval trading port into a seaside destination after a significant rebuilding phase following the fire of 1791.
The May Day Hobby Horse tradition features three distinct horses parading through the streets for four days with musicians and dancers.
The West Somerset Railway terminal provides heritage steam train services connecting Minehead to neighboring towns throughout the year.
The location experiences exceptional tidal ranges reaching up to 48 feet, creating natural phenomena along the Bristol Channel coastline.
