Kilve Beach, on the North Somerset coast, is a rocky shoreline recognised for its rockpools and fossils. At low tide, limestone ledges reveal pools supporting crabs, snails, anemones, and small fish. The beach is a designated Site of Special Scientific Interest, valued for both its rich geology and biodiversity.
The meeting point will be the grass area at the top of the hill before you reach the beach (51.1922, -3.2273 or w3w: highlighted.quit.polka). There is a path up to the beach from the car park with grass on the left of it and woodland on the right (the beach is sign posted) and the gazebo will be located at the top of this path just before the beach.
There is a slope down onto the shore from the site meeting point which is quite steep.

The site is reached by road via Sea Lane which is a turn off the A39. Cars can then be parked in the Kilve Beach ANPR Parking (51.1912, -3.2246 or w3w: stand.seaweed.goose). The site is a short walk up the sign-posted pathway from the car park.
The site can be reached on foot via Sea Lane which runs from the A39 to the coastline. The walk from the A39 is around 17 minutes. Alternatively, it can be reached by walking along the coast from East Quantoxhead Beach.
The site can be reached by bus from both Taunton and Bridgwater. The number 15 bus can be taken from Bridgwater and the 28a or 23b bus can be take from Taunton to the Hood Arms stop. This is at the top of Sea Lane and then you can walk 17 minutes down Sea Lane to the site from there.
Please note: Parking in the ANPR car park must be paid for or you risk a parking ticket. There are machines on the right hand side at the entrance to the car park and you pay for parking AS YOU LEAVE. You must enter your car registration and pay for the time you have used. You can also pay on the app but this is dependent on signal.
We look forward to seeing you at one of our BioBlitz Battles soon!
