Clevedon is a coastal town ten miles outside Bristol to the West, and neighbours Tickenham, Nailsea and Portishead.
It is famed for its Victorian pier, one of the few still in existence. The pier was restored and rebuilt in 1986, and commands stunning views across the Severn Estuary. The coast of Wales is visible from the pier.
The town boasts a popular seafront that includes ornamental gardens, a Victorian bandstand, as well as other visitor attractions. There are also entertainments for children, such as a light railway and an open space for donkey rides.
Of particular note is the town’s rocky beach, designated as the Clevedon Shore geological Site of Special Scientific Interest. Other landmarks include Walton Castle, Clevedon Court and the Curzon cinema. Curzon cinema is the oldest continuously operating cinema in the world. It was built in 1912, and today is known as a popular arts cinema.
The town has a well developed retail community, and is popular with retirees as well as commuters to Bristol.
