Somerset and Devon Beaches
Our nearest beaches are Blue Anchor Bay and Dunster Beach, both a combination of stones and sand and a 25 minute drive from our farm. It's free to park at Blue Anchor and there's a nice cafe there called The Driftwood, it's also dog friendly all year round.
If you like fossils, we recommend a trip to nearby Kilve Beach, an area of Special Scientific Interest. The cliffs here are layered with compressed strata embedded with fossils. Famous Lyme Regis and Charnmouth are about an hour away if you want more fossil beaches, but are much busier than Kilve.
Our favourite beaches are a bit further west. Porlock Weir just past Minehead has a gorgeous harbour, stone beach, good walks and independent food places. We also love Bossington - a mile of stony beach with breathtaking views, stone pill boxes and easy cliff walks. On the west side of Exmoor the famous surfing beaches, Saunton and Putsborough are well worth the journey.
Beer, Branscombe, Exmouth and Budleigh Salterton in South Devon are also worth visiting and are about an hour from here. Drop into the Donkey Sanctuary, Otter Valley Ice Cream or Darts Farm on your way there.
We regularly post beach photos on our Instagram page and stories, so for more photos if you're planning your stay, please follow us!
