Minehead is often referred to as the gateway to Exmoor and has long attracted visitors and families to its coastal location. It is probably most famous for its Butlins Holiday Park.
With plenty beaches to explore, historic fishing harbour, and a charming fourteenth Century church.

The beach is approximately one-mile long and mainly sandy with small areas of stones and shingle.

The South West Coast Path officially starts in Minehead and ends in Poole, making it approximately 630 miles long!

Parking is overlooking the beach at Warren Road upper car park. It costs £4.60 for 4 hours.

Alexandra Park (By SkyPirate)

TOAL from the field across the road, or on footpath. I did take off and land from the grounds, as the website does state that this is a public accessible and funded place. Security tried to stop me, but I did carry on, but if anything, just take off and land from across the road. I parked in the car park I the Palace, which cost me about £5 for the day.

The views of the Palace and of London in the distance, are absolutely stunning here.
