Sand Point and Middle Hope
Sand Point and Middle Hope jut out into the Severn Estuary from North Somerset, forming a wild limestone headland of national importance for wildlife. The ridge offers bracing views across the wide, tidal estuary towards Wales, with grassland rich in orchids and other chalk-loving plants clinging to the slopes. It is one of those places that rewards walking slowly and looking carefully.
