Owned by the National Trust, Brean Down owes its long history to its prominent position at the end of the Mendip Hills. A settlement is recorded here as far back as the Early to Middle Bronze Age.
The current buildings are 1860s as it was one of the Palmerston Forts built to protect the ports of the Bristol Channel, and was later rearmed during World War II.
Brean Down offers great views across the Bristol Channel to the island of Steep Holm and Flat Holm and the south coast of Wales as well as inland over the Somerset Levels to Glastonbury and north to Weston-Super-Mare.
