Sand Point, like Brean Down, is a limestone peninsula sticking out into the Bristol Channel. Situated at one end of Sand Bay, a stunning stretch of beach and perfect for a spot of sandcastle-building, climb to the top of Sand Point for a windswept walk along the coast.
Sand Point was once an island, and like Brean Down, Iron Age settlements have been found there. Look out for swallows, greenfinches and skylarks soaring above, as well as butterflies such as Gatekeepers and Skippers. Nearest postcode: BS22 9UD

With the exception of Ebbor Gorge, which is owned by the National Trust but managed by Natural England, the National Trust Ranger team care for all of the special places in this article. Working year round, the Rangers work hard at tasks such as making carpark improvements, cutting back scrub to make room for wildflowers and insects, and installing paths and benches. We wouldn’t be able to carry out this work without the continued support of members and visitors, so please enjoy exploring.
