In a perfect position alongside Minehead s harbour, the iconic Old Ship Aground is a vibrant spot bursting with character. Expect a friendly, warm atmosphere and a carefully picked wine menu and a varied selection of ales and ciders. The River Cottage style menu draws on the owners farming experience, and traditional pub dishes have received an inventive twist and use produce that s home-grown or sourced locally. Seafood aficionados make your way down to the Old Ship Aground on a Tuesday – the pub s popular Fish Evening serves up a feast of seafood treats!
Enjoy the view: Find a seat at a table just across from the pub to enjoy views of the pretty harbour and out towards the sea. The outside area is delightful; as well as the views, the spot has been beautifully decorated with floral displays and hanging baskets.
1. Kilve Beach, between Minehead and Bridgwater
Described by William Wordsworth as Kilve s delightful shore , as you stand on the slate and shingle of Kilve Beach you feel a million miles away as the grand limestone cliffs hide you from the rest of the world. Try to explore during the low tide when the shoreline is full of fossils to discover and rock pools to go crabbing. The top of the cliffs is the perfect place to truly appreciate the beauty of the beach and enjoy breathtaking views of the landscape.
Although sat at the top of the cliffs is an ideal spot for a picnic, don t worry if you ve forgotten to pack a lunch, Chantry Tea Gardens is nearby with an extensive menu of delicious dishes.
