    Brean Down is a beautiful, small, trig pointed peninsula that sits between Weston-Super-Mare and Burnham-on-Sea. At 320 feet (97 m) high, it has nice commanding views north over Weston Bay and south over Berrow Flats, whilst out to sea are Steep Holm and Flat Holm islands. At the tip of the peninsula is Brean Down Fort, built back in 1865. Brean Down is now owned by the National Trust and is also a Site of Special Scientific Interest.

        Visit the fort. Well worth the views.
