SUSPENDED FOR AUTUMN/ WINTER

Updated: 04/09/26: National Trust will be reviewing visitor operations and hope to enable the service to operate again from Easter 2027. Please return to this page for updates as they become available.

In the meantime the nearest other Tramper hire locations are American Museum and Gardens (near Bath), National Trust Newark Park (near Wotton under Edge), Parc Cefn Onn (Cardiff), Hestercombe Gardens (Taunton) and Ham Hill (near Yeovil)

A ‘natural pier’ nearly 100 metres high stretching over a mile into the Bristol Channel, Brean Down offers spectacular coastal views.

The Tramper overcomes the steep climb up to the top of Brean Down with ease and then allows you to travel along the top of the Down enjoying views across North Somerset, Gloucestershire and the Severn Estuary. At the end of the promitory you’ll have the chance to explore the Victorian, Palmerston Fort as you look across the Bristol Channel with stunning views of the islands of Steep Holm and Flat Hom. Returning along Brean Down you enjoy views inland across the Somerset Levels as far as Glastonbury Tor.
