More about this scene

It is a relief to reach the archaeologically rich and beautiful headland of Brean Down, a carboniferous limestone outlier of the Mendips reaching 300 feet high, from whose bare grassy slopes are long views to Wales, Glastonbury and along the Somerset coast. Closer in, you can look down on Weston Bay and Weston-super-Mare to the north: it is probably better not to look too closely at the holiday sprawl along the road back to Burnham-on-Sea.
