From our walks along Brean Down which juts out into the sea, looking north along the coast towards Weston super Mare a church is silhouetted above a cliff just the other side of a small estuary. We often wondered where that was and whether one day we would go and explore the area.
Our weekly outing was moved to Thursday as fine weather was forecast. We parked with ease along Uphill way and turning left by the Marina found ourself on a well surfaced path leading along the base of the old quarry along which we first came across a preserved lime kiln and later the explosives store.
Later we turned and followed a beaten track up the grassland to the tower and then the church.

From the hill top above the quarry there were fine views across the estuary towards Wales. Brean down is just on the left hand side.

From the Church a steep rocky footpath criss crossed lower down by many tree roots took us straight down the hill back to Uphill Way, where we had a light lunch at La Cucina Italiana, which was really Greek rather than Italian, then we wound our way back home along the picturesque southern slopes of the Mendips.
