Weston-Super-Mare – 7 Quirky Facts
- Modesty Prevails
In 1860, 100 bathing huts were in operation on the beach to take ‘well to do’ folk down to the beach, so they could bathe in the healthy waters without losing their modesty or revealing anything as risqué as an ankle! - Good For You
Swimming in and drinking seawater were both considered very healthy. Prior to this trend (made fashionable by George III) Weston wasn’t very super, in fact it was a small fishing village of just 100 inhabitants. The boom in tourism saw the town thrive in just a few decades to a population of over 20,000. - Famous Faces & Pythons
Famous folk to have lived in Weston-Super-Mare include Isambard Kingdom Brunel, Roald Dahl (who went to boarding school in the town) and John Cleese, who later returned to the South West to make Fawlty Towers and give cars “A damn good thrashing!” - Dismaland
Controversial, street artist Banksy opened an unconventional theme park on the seafront. This was a rather caustic take on the big parks such as Disneyland and attracted 155,000 visitors while bringing an estimated £20,000,000 to the local economy. - More Tea Vicar?
The Grand Pier was once the setting for an unusual World Record attempt. The Biggest Ever Cream Tea was served to 555 people in 2016 to raise money for Macmillan Cancer Support. - Big Theatre
The Grand Pier also once had a very grand theatre, with 2,000 seats, orchestra pit and the most modern lighting and staging technology available at the time. - Weston Calling
From 1885 right up until 1960 a transatlantic telegraph cable ran from Weston-Super-Mare, stretching all the way to the US.

About Weston-Super-Mare
The charming Somerset seaside town of Weston-super-Mare sits on the Bristol Channel in an area inhabited since the Iron Age (there’s even the remains of a castle overlooking the town). ‘Weston’ comes from the Anglo-Saxon for settlement and the super and mare are Latin for above and sea. Until the 19th century, Weston was a small village of about 30 houses, all situated directly behind a line of sand dunes just off the beach. The fashion for bathing in and drinking (!?!) seawater created a boom and within two decades the population grew to over 20,000.
The fifties and sixties saw the town thrive once again as a tourist destination. It has retained much of its charm and is well loved by day visitors and tourists still.
Having shrugged off the kiss me quick image that saw a decline in tourist numbers in the eighties, today it’s a vibrant, modern town with stunning beaches and plenty for the whole family to enjoy.
Leisure
With miles of golden sand, stunning coastline, two museums, art galleries and the famous Grand Pier there’s plenty for ‘newbies’ to explore, while Cheddar Gorge is just 14 miles away.
There are two cinemas, a large, modern shopping centre and two theatres. If you’re looking for a new hobby there are plenty of groups and societies covering a wide range of interests.
Transport
Just off the motorway offering links south to Devon (ending in Exeter) and north to the Midlands and M6, the M5 connects with the M4 just north of Bristol for routes to London and Cardiff. Trains to London take 1 hour and 41 minutes, there are also regular trains to Bath and Bristol. For frequent flyers Bristol International Airport is 15 miles away.
