In & Around Minehead
Minehead is the perfect place from which to explore the South West Coastal Path, Exmoor, and the surrounding area.
The town centre has a wide choice of pubs and restaurants, all within walking distance. For a very good carvery or pub meal, and excellent play area for the kids, we recommend the Hairy Dog on Minehead High Street.
A short stroll in the other direction, past another good seafood restaurant, leads to an open grassy walk at the end of the peninsular.
Of course there is also the beautiful sandy beaches on the doorstep.
