Location
The New Castle is an eye catching Edwardian folly building occupying a commanding position elevated above Kewstoke Road which enables it to capture the panoramic views over Sand Bay, The Bristol Channel and the coastline of South Wales. The views are an expectational feature of the New Castle with the lights of the Millennium Stadium (Principality Stadium) in Cardiff visible on a clear night and the affluent coastal town of Clevedon visible along the northern coastline.
Kewstoke is a village standing approximately three miles north of the famous coastal resort of Weston super Mare. The two are linked by a historic toll road which is flanked by ancient woodland which forms a popular walk leading directly from the side of the New Castle to the fringes of Weston super Mare. Kewstoke tends to appeal to holiday makers wishing to be slightly away from the hub of Weston super Mare. Sand Bay has a long natural beach attracting visitors from the nearby caravan parks and Sand Bay Holiday Village.
Kewstoke is quickly reached from the M5 motorway with the City of Bristol being approximately twenty miles distance.
