Beyond Butlins

---

Outside of the Butlins resort, lies the quintessential English seaside town of Minehead. Alongside its picturesque sandy beach and promenade (ideal for summer strolls) lie a unique brand of stores, tea-shops, ice-cream parlours and restaurants, bars and cafes. On Fridays, there is an out-door farmer's market in Minehead.

Also, on Tuesdays - opposite Brewer’s Fayre and Tesco's (two minutes drive from site) - there is an outdoor market, where you can grab yourself a bargain.
Shopping-wise, there are several supermarkets very close by, catering for all needs.

For those of a historic persuasion, Dunster is one of the most perfectly preserved medieval villages in England, with origins dating back to the times of Bronze and Iron Age Britain. Situated in a sheltered valley, the Yarn Market stands proudly as a reminder that Dunster was once an important centre for cloth manufacture. There are many attractive and historic features and of course, Dunster Castle.

Today the village has a fabulous selection of restaurants, pubs and tearooms plus a wide range of independent galleries and shops - more than enough to keep you occupied for at least a whole day!

Lynmouth sits straddling the confluence of the West Lyn and East Lyn rivers that flow into the Bristol Channel. It boasts a small harbour, as well as a good range of select shops, inns and restaurants. The Exmoor coastline in this area is stunning and very dramatic - the moor quite literally meets the sea.
