Why Brean?
If you’re searching for holiday homes for sale in the UK, Brean should be at the top of your list. This charming coastal village offers everything you could want in a holiday destination. Here's why Brean is the perfect place for your holiday home purchase.
Steeped in History and Culture
A destination that holds great character and copious amounts of tradition, you can write your very own holiday home history here at Brean. Home to the famous Brean Down Fort, which was built in the 1860’s, its job was to protect the ports and surrounding areas of the Bristol Channel. It came into use again in WWII, where it was transformed into a coastal artillery battery. It was actually the site of experimentation for the bouncing bomb. This historic treasure of the South West coast can still be explored today and is one of Brean’s most popular attractions.
Brean is home to two ancient churches. The Church of St Bridget was built in the 13th century and is a Grade II listed building, and Brean Methodist Church was established in the late 1700s. Both of these traditionally designed buildings prove popular among visitors as it gives them a real feel of the history seeping throughout the whole of Brean.
If you’re interested in feeling close to the arts, culture, and traditional customs of the South West coast, then Brean and Somerset is the ideal place to get your culture fix. Famous poet T.S Eliot’s ancestors actually originated from Somerset village East Coker before emigrating to America. This explains why East Coker is Eliot’s title of the second poem in his publication of The Four Quartets.
This literary legend’s bond with Somerset doesn’t stop there, as his ashes were actually scattered among the grounds of East Coker’s village church. So, whilst you’re relaxing in your holiday home, you’ll be surrounded by a plethora of history and culture, and have the opportunity to be in the heart of such an historic county.
Location Location Location
So important they named the TV show three times and the location of Brean’s holiday homes are definitely something the other UK holiday accommodation sites are envious of. Stunning coastal views meet rugged, beautiful countryside landscapes, and both are complemented with breathtaking sunsets lighting up England’s South Western skies.
The coastline from Brean Down to Burnham-on-Sea boasts eight different beaches. Unlike the pebble beaches found in some Mediterranean destinations, Brean’s sandy shores are perfect for building sandcastles and enjoying the sea breeze.
A true British county known for its rolling hills, Brean actually gets its name from the word “Bryn”, which translates from Brythonic and Modern Welsh to hill.
