Walton Castle in Weston Super Mare | Stunning Group Cottage

About Walton Castle

Walton Castle is a Grade I listed medieval-style folly perched on a hilltop above Clevedon in North Somerset, offering one of the most extraordinary group stays in the South West. The views across the Bristol Channel are hard to beat and the castle setting makes it genuinely special for a group gathering.

The surrounding area is classic North Somerset countryside. Clevedon itself sits on the Bristol Channel coast with its famous Victorian pier, independent shops and a relaxed seaside feel. Bristol is just 12 miles away.

The castle accommodates groups across its multiple bedrooms and characterful living spaces. The circular tower rooms and stone-walled interiors give the property a genuinely historic feel that no modern cottage can match. Exact room configurations should be confirmed at booking.

Clevedon Pier (1 mile, 5 mins) is a short drive. Weston-super-Mare (12 miles, 20 mins) offers beaches and attractions. Bristol city centre (12 miles, 25 mins) and Cheddar Gorge (18 miles, 30 mins) are all within easy reach.

Walton Castle suits groups who want something genuinely different. The hilltop position, historic architecture and North Somerset location make it a standout booking for celebrations or reunions.
