Minehead Caravan Holidays and Holiday Parks
There is a long history dating back to the Bronze and Iron Ages but it wasn’t until the Victorian era when the town developed from a small trading port into a large town and popular holiday resort.
Throughout the winter, Minehead is a quiet and relaxed town but it comes to life every Easter as 1000’s of tourists head to the resort throughout the main holiday season and the great news for us here at CaraHols is that there are a number of great holiday parks waiting to service all of those holidaymakers.

Minehead is home to a good range of caravan holiday parks, from smaller caravan parks that are ideal as a relaxing break to larger holiday parks that offers a wide range of facilities and activities to suit all tastes.
Minehead Attractions
For many it is the natural beauty and coastal location of the resort of Minehead that is the biggest attraction and the great news is that there are lots of places to really enjoy the stunning scenery on offer.
Minehead beach offers miles and miles of sandy beach which is not only a great place to spend time together as a family but it does of course offer a day out for free.
If a beach isn’t for you, the good news is that you can still take in the great seafront walks as there is a long, flat promenade that runs from one end of Minehead bay to the other.
This can be extended by walking along the South West Coast Path which takes you up onto the cliffs and across smaller beaches.
Just back from the seafront and linking the coast with the town centre is the beautiful Blenheim Gardens, an oasis of calm in the resort.
One of the most popular attractions in the town has to be the West Somerset Railway, a heritage railway. The railway is amongst the longest heritage railways in the UK that allows you to enjoy the beautiful Somerset countryside and coast along the almost 23 miles of track that links Doniford, Watchet, Dunster and Minehead. The railway makes for a great days out where you can explore Somerset without the stress of driving and finding somewhere to park up.
