Plan your trip to make the most of your visit
Steep Holm, a small island in the Bristol Channel, is owned and managed by the Kenneth Allsop Memorial Trust. It lies nearly six miles offshore from the seaside resort of Weston-super-Mare in North Somerset. Although relatively close to areas of high population and the busy shipping channel, Steep Holm is isolated by brisk tidal currents and access is by prearranged visit only
We have a wide range of wildlife and nature for you to explore. Don't forget to keep an eye out for Sam the seal!
We have many different activities that people of all ages can enjoy and you can explore the island by a network of access routes.
Our island is steeped in history. Take a tour of the gun emplacements and underground munitions stores to learn about the role we played in protecting England.
Our toilet facilities are available near the visitor centre on the island, using collected rainwater.
Our small cafe serves hot drinks, soft drinks and freshly baked goods for visitors
We have walking trails of varying steepness and difficulty, so there's something for everyone
We have a small bar that sells a variety of beers, wine and other alcoholic beverages
We do accept both cash and card payments, though cash payment is preferred
We have a shop at the visitor centre where you can purchase our guide books plus lots more

The Visitor Centre, housed in the Victorian barracks, serves as your base for the day, offering seating, a safe place to leave belongings, and a café selling hot and cold drinks, homemade cakes, snacks, and a selection of alcoholic beverages. Toilet facilities are available, with non-drinking water from an underground reservoir; fresh drinking water is provided at the barracks café, or visitors should bring their own flasks, avoiding plastic bottles due to recycling limitations.
