In the heart of the village, St Andrew’s Church was built in the 12th century and is a Grade I-listed building. The floor of its porch was cobbled with stones from the shore nearby. The area around Cleeve is dotted with other historical sites, including Cleeve Abbey, a monastery founded in the 12th century. Built in 1860, Black Monkey Bridge carries the West Somerset Railway over a stream on its 22-mile route through the unspoiled countryside between Minehead and Bishops Lydeard. A ride on this heritage line is highly recommended on self-catering holidays in Old Cleeve.

Five miles from Old Cleeve, Minehead is a charming seaside town with a vast beach and a variety of independent shops to peruse. Blue Anchor Beach is famous as the subject of Port Sunlight, a painting by JMW Turner. While away a day sunbathing or swimming at this spectacular stretch of sand and shingle shore, enjoy refreshments at one of the cafes or the pub on the road that runs parallel to the beach. The South West Coast Path begins there, following the coast  or some 600 miles to Poole in Dorset.
