Welcome to Brean
Brean is an English civil parish within the unitary authority of Somerset
Brean in the County of Somerset lies on the shores of the longest and largest inlet in England’s coastline, the Bristol Channel. The channel is governed by the second-largest rise and fall of tidal movement in the world, about one mile (the largest being the Bay of Fundy in Canada). The northern village boundary is Brean Down, a rocky promontory some 300ft high, jutting out into the channel and separating Brean from Weston-super-Mare. The Down is of the same carboniferous limestone formation as the offshore islands of Flat Holm and Steep Holm and at one time must have been an extension of the Mendip Hills.
