Here to complete the YOSM Adventure Labs, and also explore the area whilst on holiday in Somerset. We carried on to the end of the Headland to explore Brean Fort before looping back on the lower path. A lovely circular walk from the NT car park (which was free for us as we are members)

From National Trust car park at north end of Barrow Flats, first section is up a flight of steps onto the top of the Down. Already fantastic views open out to north towards Weston-Super-Mare and south across the huge expanse of Barrow Flats at low tide. Headed west, over first rise and pillar comes into view on top of the next hill another kilometre to the west. Good to see it and know where to head. Pleasant walk. Quite blustery. A few walkers about. Luckily as I reached the pillar the various groups of people ahead had moved on and nobody was close behind so I had a few moments to get unhindered photographs. FB number slightly damaged unless it has always looked like that. Raised S prefix. Cap plugged. Great views in all directions, including towards Steep Holm Island where a TP is shown on my OS map but getting there would require a boat trip and probably having to spend a whole day there because of the tidal cycle. Maybe one day. Afterwards tea and cake stop at the NT tea room. Very good.

Easily the most enjoyable of the seven trigs I bagged today, Brean Down has a generously sized car park with an easy to use cash payment machine (£6, though), and a couple of shops and facilities before the whacking great cliffside staircase that I was very grateful for! Once at the top, the views are stunning in every direction, and the walk to the trig point is lengthy but enjoyable (and very popular). The trig itself is in good condition, and looks out across the sea and the shore for miles around. It was an impressive sight on a grey day like today; on a clear sunny day is would surely be spectacular. A must-visit.

We arrived just as a heavy shower started. We waited it out in the car. Luckily the sun made a brief appearance. We headed up.got to the pillar and could see the next lot of rain heading our way and a few spots in the air. Got back to the car just in time before it chucked it down again. The pillar is in good condition considering the weather's it must face every year.

Logged as YSM348 Brean Down Walked up here many a time as my Mum had a static caravan down at Warren Farm for many years. Don't remember the trig point at all but must have passed it many times as we walked right to the end more than once! Steep climb up to this but Mr U2 had Pokemon to keep him occupied so I could take my time. Lovely views from the top and brought back many happy memories and good nights had in the local establishments.

Once again, as is often the case, on a hill commanding great views. From here can be seen Weston Super Mare, South East Wales, Somerset, The Mendip Hills, a few small islands in the severn. A good place for binoncolurs if you have them. At the end of the hill over looking the sea is a old WW2 fort. often overlooked due to its location, its free to look around and is worth a look.

This one takes a while but what you see is worth it. When you park the car at the bottom of the steps and climb the 5 million stairs to the top, please don't leave your camera in the car..... Just speaking from experience there. It's a loooong way down and if you suffer from vertigo don't look down as you climb.

A beautiful warm sunny visit was had here. I prepared for the climb up the steps following a fine breakfast in The Artful Dodger Cafe in Burnham-on-Sea. There were 360 degree views although the Welsh coast was somewhat shrouded in mist. One of my ultimate goals is the pillar on Steep Holm. The Brean Down pillar is in good condition, a good clean plate and very easily accessible, as long as the steep flights of steps doesn't put you off.

So… Day three of my expedition started here... Brean Down... and I can’t think of a better place to start. After climbing all the steps (no, I didn’t count them but there were lots!) from the car park to the top, the landscape opened out onto a rolling, green vista. An easy stroll along to the trig pillar on the highest point, shared only with a small herd of goats. These were REAL goats... long hair, long horns, beards, the lot! They would probably have been more at home in the Alps or the Rockies. However, I digress... the pillar is in good condition apart from the missing centre plug that has been replaced with a bitumen/tarmac filler. The views are excellent, with Steep Holm and the Welsh coast 10 miles away to the north west and back towards Weston-Super-Mare in the north east. Having done the biz here, I carried on to the old fort on the end of the peninsular. Interesting point, here. During WW II , they installed two, 6 inch, naval guns from an old WW I battleship. Now these guns had a range of 20 miles, apparently. Had they ever fired in anger... which they didn’t... and missed the enemy ship they were aiming at... the good folk in Caerphilly would have been really pissed off. I guess the warlords of the time figured a few irate Welsh peasants didn’t actually count for very much in the great scheme of things.

The pillar has an asphalt plug and FB BsM 3270. Brean Down is a limestone promontory south of Weston, it has a rich and interesting history; pre-roman to the Second World War. The site has been designated a SSSI for both its geology and its flora. Accompanied by my granddaughter; today was clear and sunny with a huge view: Weston, Mendips, Somerset Levels and Glastonbury Tor; the beach stretching down to Burnham; the West Somerset coast and across the Bristol Channel to Wales.

Good all round views from this headland standing out into the Bristol Channel, an extension of the Mendip Hills.

Brean Down with Steep Holm beyond TP6172 is on Steep Holm. Does this count as "Not reached"?

A lovely view from this trig point, it is well worth a visit. If you get the opportnity go and visit the ruined barracks at the end of the down, which was destroyed by a massive explosion.

En route from Cheltenham to Farming Friends in Somerset to celebrate the millennium. The Old Man took some persuading that parking on W-S-M beach is quite the norm and safe! Great fort on the end.

I'm estimating the time that I first went to this trig point, but it is on a very special promontory, which I have visited many a time... as someone else mentions, it is well worth visiting the ruined fort at the end, which had been partially rebuilt the last time I visited, in about 2003.

HISTORY: Pillar completed 25th May 1944 costing £7.19s.0d. Computed as tertiary triangulation station ST57/T10 in 1944. Levelled for height in 1965. Last maintained by the OS in October 1980. SITE VISIT: Lots of people around. High peninsula with disused building at tip. Too hazy to see any distance out to sea.

One of the earliest trigs visited that I have a memory of. Can't remember the date though but was when we were living in Weson-super-Mare. Logging this now in 2012. ***Revisited 4 Aug 2014 to photograph and get the details. Lovely walk along the down to Victorian fort at the end. Pillar in good condition other than minor chipping to top edges; cap missing, asphalt plug; 3 sight holes open with plug in front hole degrading; BSM style FB. Extensive 360deg views - Steep Holm, Flat Holm, Worlebury Hill, Bleadon Down, Brent Knoll etc. Tump summit approx 2m NW of trig. Visit time, GR and FB number all from this visit.
