We spent Father's Day afternoon on Brean Down, which is effectively the fag end of the Mendips extending out into the Severn Estuary. To the north is Weston and Brean itself is to the south.
The down is actually an interesting place to visit, with several layers of history - an iron age fort, a Roman temple and a Napoleonic fort which was revamped during WWII. Its also a relatively easy walk as the thoughtful people who built the fort also built a road leading up to it.
The day was quite bright, but with an overcast which made it quite a fruitful day for photography, so I've a few images from this outing to post.
This is an image of the very end of the promontory, with Steep Holm in the distance and a Second World War searchlight station in the foreground.
