At Weston Milton and Worle are other stations.

15 miles (24 km) away at Lulsgate, Weston's nearest airport that is operational is Bristol Airport. Super mare is Latin for "above sea" and was added to distinguish it from the settlements named Weston in the Diocese of Bath and Wells, Weston comes from the Anglo-Saxon for the west tun or settlement.

Located behind a sea fronting sand dunes line, which had been created as a sea wall after the Bristol Channel floods of 1607, Weston was a village of about 30 houses early in the 19th century. In seaside holidays, Weston owes its growth and prosperity to the Victorian era.
