Hurn Lane Caravan Club Site Welcome to Hurn Lane Caravan Club Site Get to know Hurn Lane This is a pleasant, open site and only 15 minutes’ walk from a safe and sandy beach. Burnham is a really traditional seaside resort, ideal for a quiet beach holiday, and with the great virtue of a traffic-free promenade. The whole family will enjoy Burnham’s famous carnival in early November - it’s colourful, lively and fun and the site stays open specially for it. Brean is also nearby with its Fun Park and the Tropical Bird Gardens at Brean Down. You’ll not want to miss a visit to Cheddar Gorge and the famous caves, but after you’ve gone below ground, call in at the Cheddar Gorge Cheese Company’s Rural Village with its cheese factory and museum, the cider museum, and bakery - and buy some freshly-baked bread and cheese as a tasty souvenir. Bathing off the coast can be dangerous and particular note must be taken of any local notices.

  • Somerset Geology-A Good Rock Guide
    SOMERSET GEOLOGY-A GOOD ROCK GUIDE Hugh Prudden The great unconformity figured by De la Beche WELCOME TO SOMERSET Welcome to green fields, wild flower meadows, farm cider, Cheddar cheese, picturesque villages, wild moorland, peat moors, a spectacular coastline, quiet country lanes…… To which we can add a wealth of geological features. The gorge and caves at Cheddar are well-known. Further east near Frome there are Silurian volcanics, Carboniferous Limestone outcrops, Variscan thrust tectonics, Permo-Triassic conglomerates, sediment-filled fissures, a classic unconformity, Jurassic clays and limestones, Cretaceous Greensand and Chalk topped with Tertiary remnants including sarsen stones-a veritable geological park! Elsewhere in Mendip are reminders of coal and lead mining both in the field and museums. Today the Mendips are a major source of aggregates. The Mesozoic formations curve in an arc through southwest and southeast Somerset creating vales and escarpments that define the landscape and clearly have influenced the patterns of soils, land use and settlement as at Porlock. The church building stones mark the outcrops. Wilder country can be found in the Quantocks, Brendon Hills and Exmoor which are underlain by rocks of Devonian age and within which lie sunken blocks (half-grabens) containing Permo-Triassic sediments. The coastline contains exposures of Devonian sediments and tectonics west of Minehead adjoining the classic exposures of Mesozoic sediments and structural features which extend eastward to the Parrett estuary. The predominance of wave energy from the west and the large tidal range of the Bristol Channel has resulted in rapid cliff erosion and longshore drift to the east where there is a full suite of accretionary landforms: sandy beaches, storm ridges, salt marsh, and sand dunes popular with summer visitors.
