What Should I Do With Two Days In Minehead?

If you have 2 days to spend in Minehead, here are some suggestions of things you can do:

  • Visit the historic seaside town of Dunster, which is just a short drive from Minehead. You can explore Dunster Castle, wander around the picturesque village and visit the beautiful Dunster Water Mill. This can take up to half a day.
  • Take a walk along the South West Coast Path, which offers stunning views of the coastline. You can choose to do a shorter walk or a longer hike depending on your preferences. A half-day to full day can be spent here.
  • Visit the West Somerset Railway, which is the longest heritage railway in England. You can take a ride on a steam train and admire the scenery along the way. Allow half a day for this activity.
  • Enjoy some family time on the beach. Minehead Beach is a spacious sandy beach popular for sunbathing and playing volleyball. You can pack a picnic, rent beach chairs, and spend the whole day soaking up some sunshine and watching the waves.

There are several places to stay in Minehead. You could opt to stay in a B&B such as The Parks Guest House, or try out one of the many self-catering cottages available like Mariners Lodge or The Orchard. Another option is The Beach Hotel, which has sea view rooms and is just footsteps from the beach.
