Brean Beach NCN Section

Highlight • Cycleway

Wonderful section of the NCN along Brean Beach. The sand is firm and if the wind is kind it's a real experience. Big skies, golden sand and chips at Burnham. …

Brean Down Steps

Highlight • Trail

A set of zig-zagging steps from the beach up onto Brean Downs (National Trust) Nature Reserve, these steep concrete steps thankfully get the climb done pretty quick!

These are also part of the England Coast Path.
