Middle Hope, leading onto Sand Point and Swallow Ridge, is a sequence of carboniferous limestone with unusual geological features including a Pleistocene-aged fossil cliff and has been designated as a SSSI. The underlying geology and soil types support scarce plants such as the smallflower buttercup, honeywort, Cheddar pink and Somerset hair grass. There is a stone Trig Point used by the archaeologists/scientists on Middle Hope just before you get to Swallow Ridge. Human use of the sites is shown by a bowl barrow and disc barrow from late Neolithic or Bronze Age and the site of a likely motte-and-bailey castle. Woodspring Priory, a former Augustinian priory which was founded in the early 13th century, sits just inland of the rocky promontory. The Priory and surrounding land is owned by the National Trust. We enjoyed our walk yesterday, up the steps from Sand Bay Carpark, up the craggy, muddy pathway onto Middle Hope, then along the coastline almost to Woodspring Priory and back. Such a wonderful day we had. Highly recommended!

Parked in the small National Trust Car Park at the end of Sand Bay, narrow roads approaching this and hard to pass other cars in places. Lovely and quiet, mostly people walking dogs. Take the path to Sand Point and you will be rewarded with the most amazing views.

Birnbeck Pier, known locally as the Old Pier, stands on the North Somerset coastline at Weston-super-Mare. Built between 1864 and 1867, it is a unique structure, being the only British pier that links the mainland to an island. Over its lifetime it has enjoyed mixed fortunes. In its heyday it was the Victorian equivalent of a modern theme-park, but has been shut to the public since 1994.

We're now advised that there is a Compulsory Purchase Order on Birnbeck Pier! Allelluya! Such good news - all the residents of Weston-super-Mare and beyond are delighted! We hope they can soon get on with it and save this wonderful landmark, the only pier connected to an island in the country! And just this week a new Banksy artwork appeared adjacent to the pier. I went along to see it but it had been stolen in the night, before the Council came along to safeguard it. They even took part of the stone wall. But it was still lovely to see the pier, even though it gets rustier by the day. Not long now before it's saved and returned to its former glory! Hurrah!

This large Hillfort above Weston-super-Mare is an ancient monument of international significance. It was built around 2,300 years ago in the Iron Age by members of the Celtic Dobunni tribe. The Hillfort is protected by seven valla (defensive walls and ditches) and has more than 90 storage pits where important archaeological discoveries have been made. Magnificent views can be seen from the Fort.
