Visit Weston-super-Mare

Visit Weston-super-Mare Welcome to the official tourism page for Weston-super-Mare.

If you haven't visited Weston-super-Mare for a few years, you will find that it is not just our donkeys that have had a spruce up! Millions of pounds worth of development has gone into our resort over the last five years and we are looking better than ever. In June 2013 Weston-super-Mare Town Council launched loveweston.com, Weston's first dedicated, official destination website, it was re-named V

isit Weston in 2018 to better reflect the importance of the visitor economy for our seaside town, or town by the seaside, whichever way you'd prefer to see it. We aim to advertise and support our accommodation, attractions, places to eat, shops and all local businesses, as well as being the source of information for tourists and local residents alike. A not-for-profit-venture, all advertising income is generated back into the website and our national destination marketing campaigns to promote Weston-super-Mare to all potential visitors.

Now we're not going to pretend that we got up early enough this morning to take this picture of the sunrise at Uphill - it's a picture from our files that we took previously.

But we're sure you'll agree that with skies like this, Uphill is a great spot to watch the day begin as well as being a wonderful place for views and walks.
