A Wander Around Weston-Super-Mare

This time im in Weston-Super-Mare on the North Somerset coast. Instead of doing the obvious walk along the seafront i instead choose to take a walk through Worlbury Woods to the nearby beach of Sand Bay. I then take the open top bus back to Weston to take a look at “The Knife Angel” sculpture before gorging on a German kebab to finish the video off.
