Clevedon is a town in North Somerset, England. The name derives from the Saxon, Cleve meaning Cleave or Cleft and 'don' meaning hill, the town being situated amongst a group of small hills alongside the River Severn estuary. The rocky beach and the sedate nature of the amusements on offer meant that Clevedon lost almost all of its residential holiday trade by the middle of the twentieth century, though it is still a popular resort for day trippers.
Clevedon is situated on and round seven hills called Chruchill, Wain's hill (which is topped by the remains of an iron age hill fort, Dial hill, Stawberry hill, Castle hill, Hangstone hill and Court hill. On a clear day there are far reaching views across the Severn estuary to Wales. When the visibility is particularly good the island of Lundy in the Bristol Channel can be seen.
Clevedon Pier is a seaside pier in the town of Clevedon, on the English side of the mouth of the River Severn and the Bristol Channel.
During the Victorian era Clevedon became a popular seaside town. Clevedon Pier was opened on Easter Monday 1869, one of the earliest examples of a Victorian pier still in existence in England. The seafront stretches for approximately half a mile from the pier to Salthouse Field, and includes ornamental gardens, a Victorian bandstand, a bowling green, tennis courts, crazy golf and other amusements. An addition to this list is Marine Lake, which was once a Victorian swimming pool, is now used for boating activities, as well as a small festival once a year where people can try out new sports. The Salthouse Field has a light railway running round the perimeter and is still used for donkey rides during the summer. The shore at Clevedon is a mixture of pebbled beaches and low rocky cliffs, with the old harbour being at the western edge of the town at the mouth of the Land Yeo. It is remembered as the place at which John Ashley conceived of the idea of creating the Mission to Seafarers. Poet's Walk is a footpath around Wains Hill and Church Hill, to the south west of the seafront, and the upper part of the town contains many other footpaths through parks and wooded areas which were laid out in the nineteenth century. 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 can still be seen), and bathing machines on the main beach.
