Minehead Harbour Walls

Harbour walls at Minehead. In the middle of a heatwave we decided to take a trip to the coast to try to catch a breeze.

Minehead is a coastal town in north Somerset and is on the edge of the Bristol Channel

There has been a harbour in Minehead since the late 1300s. Nowadays, although fishing boats still work from here it is also widely used by pleasure craft and boat charter companies with Teddie Boy Charters available for angling trips or coastal excursions etc.

We didn't find that breeze - 'Ain't that a shame'

Going with the teddy boy theme

Ecobird ^club has replied to Jocelyne Villoing ^club

Thank you very much Jocelyne. It is difficult to stay cool in this heatwave isn't it?
Minehead has lovely stretches of beach although the tide was going out when we arrived. A walk along the sand and letting the sea wash over my feet sounds perfect!!I

Stay cool and have a good day Best wishes Carol

Thank you very much Peter. I don't think I have ever known it to be as hot as it was there yesterday. The pub and the ice cream sellers were doing a good trade so it was good for business.

Best wishes. Stay cool and stay safe. HWW

Ecobird ^club has replied to James ^club

Thank you very much James. I am not sure that it has changed a great deal in all that time, this harbour end especially. Nice that you have been there and recognise it though,

That must be really lovely being so close to the beach. I am jealous!!
