North Somerset is home to the seaside resort Weston-super-Mare, coastal towns Clevedon and Portishead and miles of glorious countryside and spectacular coastline.

We welcome more than 6.4m visitors to our district each year.

We have a range of accommodation available from seafront hotels and guest houses to countryside cottages and campsites. 

Visitors can enjoy a wide range of leisure activities on arrival ranging from outdoor pursuits to the North Somerset Museum and craft fairs and year-round entertainment at The Playhouse Theatre.

The district is an ideal location for day-trips, short breaks or longer holidays and whether you're looking for a relaxing weekend enjoying the countryside or a week alongside the seaside you will find it here.

We are also close to the cities of Bristol, Bath and Wells and the delights of Somerset are all on our doorstep.
