Pleasantly situated and sheltered, Clevedon is one of the most delightful of Bristol Channel watering places.

One of the attractions is that it presents the convenience and refinement of the town with the quietude and rural scenery of the country. Its picturesque rugged coast-line embracing three bays, its pine-woods, gardens and " copses, " its beautiful Green Beach, and the charm of its natural surroundings are features that combine to give Clevedon an individuality of its own.

Clevedon is noted for its flowers, and its violets are famous.

The Pier, at which the steamers of the Campbell Fleet call, was opened in 1869, and is the property of the town. It is 1,022 feet in length, with seats running from end to end, and an elevated shelter at the head. From the balcony of the shelter an excellent view of the town and bay is obtained. The tide rises at the Pier head to a height of 45 feet.
