Brean Down Way

This is a cycle path and footpath around the base of Brean Down, providing an 8 mile route from Weston Super Mare to the fort on Brean Down.

It crosses the local marshes and uses the Brean Cross Sluice as a bridge across the River Axe. A shelter half way along forms part of the Great Brean Bird Wall, a random-planked fence that allows the birds on the tidal river to be observed without disturbance, and coincides with the river crossing at the sluice.

There is a web site for the path: LinkExternal link

The route is part of national cycle route 33, which nominally links Axminster to Clevedon. The original route of 33 had to make a lengthy diversion over the Bleadon Levels, but with the opening of the bridge over the sluice the route has been simplified.

Route 33 continues from Brean cafe down to Berrow and to Burnham-on-sea.
