Advantages: Cheap and cheerful day out. Disadvantages: Too many people on the routes there in the Summer.
I thought I'd write a Weston-Super-Mare review since my husband and I took our little ones there today for a spot of sandcastle building. As we only live 15 minutes away, down the M5, it's a place I have frequented throughout my life.
My Grandparents live in Worle which is just off the motorway on the way in to Weston, and always took us to the seafront in the Summer, so this is the place I shall start.
THE SEA FRONT
Weston-Super-Mare is in North Somerset (previously Avon).
Weston-sur-la-mer (on-the-sea) became Weston-Super-Mare for obvious reasons... our tangled evolution of language! I suppose it is sort of on-the-sea, but is really on the Severn Estuary. This means that there is a lot of mud washing up and down! We often, jokingly call it Weston-Super-Mud!

Advantages: Great tracks, Can listen for free via Spotify Disadvantages: A couple of weaker songs let it down slightly but not too much
