Brean Down is a peninsula south of Weston Super Mare in Somerset. It is the western termination of the Mendip Hills. It has a history of defence, from WWII back to the Napoleonic wars. At its far end is a fort, which you can wander around whilst contemplating the stupidity of mankind. It was sunny when we left home, but very cold and wet by the end of our walk; very pleased to get back in the car.
