As Granadad and Nanny were in Burnham-on-Sea having a holiday, we decided, it's really not all that far and we haven't seen them in a while so we should go visit them. The plan was for a beach day, but we chose to go down on a day when the weather was drab. Though for … Continue reading Review: Seaquarium Weston-Super-Mare
The property is entered directly from the A44 between Bromyard and Worcester. About a 10-15 minute drive from another National Trust property we visited the same day (The Elgar Birthplace Museum - The Firs).
