Clevedon is a town and civil parish in the unitary authority of North Somerset, which covers part of the ceremonial county of Somerset, England. Clevedon lies among a group of small hills, including Church Hill, Wain's Hill (topped by the remains of an Iron Age hill fort), Dial Hill, Strawberry Hill, Castle Hill, Hangstone Hill and Court Hill which is a Site of Special Scientific Interest along the Severn estuary. Clevedon was mentioned in the Domesday Book but grew in the Victorian era as a seaside resort.
The seafront has ornamental gardens, a Victorian bandstand and other attractions. Salthouse Field has a light railway running round the perimeter and is used for donkey rides in the summer. The shore consists of pebbled beaches and low rocky cliffs, with the old harbour at the western edge of the town at the mouth of the Land Yeo. The rocky beach has been designated as the Clevedon Shore geological Site of Special Scientific Interest. Clevedon Pier, opened in 1869, is one of the earliest surviving examples of a Victorian pier. On 17 October 1970, two outward spans collapsed when the seventh set of legs from the shore failed during a routine insurance load test.
A trust was eventually formed and the pier and its buildings were restored and reopened on 27 May 1989, when the Waverley paddle steamer berthed and took on passengers. Other landmarks include Walton Castle, Clevedon Court the Clock Tower and the Curzon Cinema. Clevedon's light industry is centred mainly in industrial estates including Hither Green Trading Estate near the M5 motorway junction. It is a dormitory town for Bristol. The town is home to educational, religious and cultural buildings and sports clubs.
Wain's Hill is an univallate Iron Age hill fort situated approximately 1 mile (1.6 km) south-west of Clevedon. The hill fort is defined by a steep, natural slope from the south and north with two ramparts to the east. The Domesday Book mentions Clevedon as a holding of a tenant-in-chief by the name of Mathew of Mortaigne, with eight villagers and ten smallholders. The parish of Clevedon formed part of the Portbury Hundred.
The small rivers the Land Yeo and Middle Yeo supported at least two mills. The Tuck Mills lay in the fields south of Clevedon Court and were used for fulling cloth. The other mills, near Wain's Hill, probably date from the early 17th century. During the Victorian era Clevedon became a popular seaside town; before that it had been an agricultural village. The Victorian craze for bathing in the sea was catered for in the late 19th century by saltwater baths adjacent to the pier (since demolished, though the foundations remain), and bathing machines on the main beach.
Clevedon was served by a short branch line from the main railway at Yatton. It opened in 1847, six years after the main line itself, but closed in 1966. The site of the station is now Queen's Square, a shopping precinct. The town was the headquarters for another railway, the Weston, Clevedon and Portishead Light Railway, which connected the three coastal towns in its name. It opened to Weston-super-Mare in 1897
Clevedon is situated on and round seven hills called Church Hill, Wain's Hill (which is topped by the remains of an Iron Age hill fort), Dial Hill, Strawberry Hill, Castle Hill, Hangstone hill and Court Hill which is a Site of Special Scientific Interest. On a clear day there are far reaching views across the Severn estuary to Wales. Clevedon has some light industry, mainly in industrial estates including Hither Green Trading Estate near the M5 motorway junction, and it is also a dormitory town for Bristol.
Clevedon Pier was opened on Easter Monday 1869, one of the earliest examples of a Victorian pier still in existence in the United Kingdom. The Royal Pier Hotel is a Grade II listed building located next to the pier. Walton Castle is a 17th-century fort located on Castle Hill that overlooks the Walton St Mary area at the northern end of Clevedon. It was built sometime between 1615 and 1620.
Clevedon Court is on Court Hill east of the town centre, close to the road to Bristol. It is one of only a few remaining 14th century manorial halls in England, having been built by Sir John de Clevedon circa 1320. Clevedon clock tower in the centre of the town is decorated with Elton ware.

Poet's Walk, Salt Fields and Lord Tennyson's Home of Clevedon, Part 5, 2012.wmv
Prior to the wander along Poet's Walk to Salthouse Fields I visited Tennyson's thatched house and took a few images allowing my imagination to picture him during his time here--how his home would have seemed quite remote--no avenues or closes named after poets in his day, no retirement bungalows and no motorcars--in Tennyson day he probably wandered without predetermined footpaths BUT the views across Somerset would have been the same--the Mendips, Worlebury Woods,Sandbay, the Atlantic Ocean and St Andrew's Church. Of the latter I have created several videos of this church in 2011 inside and outside--full of history and no doubt visited by Tennyson. So here we go--Salthouse Fields and the upright wooden stakes--I need to find out more about the history here.

Clevedon Court North Somerset
Clevedon Court is a manor house on Court Hill in Clevedon, North Somerset, England, dating from the early 14th century. It is now owned by the National Trust. It is designated as a Grade I listed building.
The house was built and added to over many years. The great hall and chapel block are the earliest surviving parts of the structure with the west wing being added around 1570, when the windows and decoration of the rest of the building were changed. Further construction and adaptation was undertaken in the 18th century when it was owned by the Elton baronets. The house was acquired by the nation and was given to the National Trust in part-payment for death duties in 1960. The Elton family is still resident in the house, which is now open to the public.
In addition to the main house, the grounds include a selection of walls and outbuildings, some of which date back to the 13th century. The gardens are listed (Grade II*) on the National Register of Historic Parks and Gardens.

The Clevedon Visit, Part 3, Poet's Walk & Wain's Hill, 2012.wmv
After I left the Pier I wandered along the Promenade for a hot coffee to warm up and then continued towards the marina and Poet's Walk. Poet's Walk is in memory of Alfred Lord Tennyson, Queen Victoria's Poet Laureate who's thatched home still exisits and I have taken images of Tennyson house. Once reaching Wain's Hill beautiful panoramic views can be experienced of my Beautiful Somerset and the vast Atlantic Ocean, also the muddy estuary of the River Yeo. In Tennyson's time this spot would be much quieter, remoter and isolated--the sort of place I imagine a poet would need to conjure up magical words of love , life, death etc...Other poets have also wandered here and one is remembered in the church of St Andrew's who took his own life by plunging to his death from this beauty spot.--perhaps not always the best place to visit if you feel depressed or melancholic----for others it will lift the spirits--- such is the unpredictabilty of being human. Tennyson wrote many poems but one of his most famous is 'The Charge of the Light Brigade' which I remember from Childhood--we had to learn all the verses.
