Latest house prices for Minehead

Minehead sits on the edge of the Bristol Channel, serving as the gateway to Exmoor National Park. It’s a town of two halves: there’s the flat, traditional seaside area near the heritage steam railway terminus, and the much older, steeper cluster of cottages around North Hill and Higher Town. Historically, it was a busy port for the wool and livestock trade, and you can still see that maritime past at the harbour, which marks the start of the 630-mile South West Coast Path. Geographically, it’s tucked into a sheltered spot where the moor meets the sea, giving it a milder microclimate than much of the surrounding Somerset countryside. While it has the usual practical amenities of a regional hub, the real draw is the immediate access to the wooded combes and open heathland of the national park right on its doorstep.
