Weston-super-Mare

It includes the suburbs of Oldmixon, West Wick and Worle. Its population according to the 2001 census was 71,758. It is twinned with Hildesheim, Germany.

Weston-super-Mare is a popular tourist destination, with attractions such as the long sandy beach, the world's largest dedicated helicopter collection[28] at the Helicopter Museum, North Somerset Museum, the Grand Pier, the SeaQuarium aquarium and the (possibly) seasonal[29] Wheel of Weston. On the Beach Lawns can be found a Miniature Railway operated by steam and diesel locomotives, and a putting green. The Paddle Steamer Waverley and MV Balmoral offer day sea trips from Knightstone Island to various destinations along the Bristol Channel and Severn estuary, tickets for which are on sale at the resort's Tourist Information Centre.

The T4 On The Beach concert, hosted by Channel 4 youth programme T4, is a recent addition. Well known bands and singers perform four or less of their hits. However, the vocals are mimed as the event is being produced for live TV broadcast.
