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.
