Good Pub Food - Seasons Restaurant - Banwell Winscombe North Somerset

Near to Weston super Mare, and the villages of Locking & Hutton, Banwell is at the start of the old coach road that once climbed the steep track past Banwell Castle, and then on through Winscombe, Axbridge, & Cheddar en route to Wells.

Banwell & Winscombe are on the western boundary of the North Somerset Mendip Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty; seen on either side of the M5, with the distinctive shape of Crook Peak to the east of the motorway; straddling the A38 where it runs through the narrow pass by Shute Shelve Hill, at the crossroads with the A371 near Axbridge.
