Does anyone know the official (or unofficial) position on vehicle access up the North side of the Huntspill via the concrete track from Sloway bridge please?
I have seen cars up there, but uncertain of the access conditions.

Thanks.

Either from the footbridge over the Brue by Clyce Road in Highbridge, walking along the south side of the Brue, or by walking up the Huntspill from Sloway Lane to the sluice, and then heading north towards the Brue.

From the BoS sea wall itself can be good in a storm for seawatching. Otherwise, Huntspill sea wall and Brue estuary aren’t too far away either. Best of luck!

I wondered if anyone has any suggestions for bird watching in /around Burnham on sea ? (other than Apex).
