The neighbouring hamlet of Tivington possesses a vaulted 15th-cent. chapel, with a priest's house attached. A fine view of Dunkery and the vale of Porlock is obtained from here. Wootton, North, a village 2 m. The church has a low W. tower, possessing one pre-Reformation bell. The porch contains a curious stoup; the font is Norm. Worle, a village 2-1/2 m. E. of Weston-super-Mare. Worlebury Camp.
Such "finds" as occasionally come to hand are treasured in a museum attached to the Free Library in the Boulevard. The churches are modern. In the parish church an ingeniously ugly building are one or two remnants of an earlier structure. In the churchyard are the remains of a cross. Weston has, however, one antiquity of quite remarkable interest in Worlebury Camp.
Worlebury is remarkable for having a large number of pits sunk into the ground within its rampart. The remains of megalithic circles occur at Stanton Drew. There are barrows at Stoney Littleton, Dundry, and Priddy. There is a lake-village of the crannog type at Godney. The most interesting Roman remains are at Bath, where a splendid system of baths has been brought to light.
