Watchet Harbour and West Somerset Railway

Highlight • Structure

Lovely harbour town with all the amenities. Parking, and most importantly access to both Exmoor (hilly) and the Quantocks (HILLY). Does get a tad busy in peak season, but then this is the Costa Del Somerset so what did you Expect?

Watchet Harbour

Highlight • Settlement

Watchet has had an active harbour since at least the Iron Age and was an important trading port during the Saxon era. Later, minerals were traded via here but today the harbour is mostly used as a marina rather than a working harbour. A wonderful place to sit and watch the world go by, the harbour is one of the main draws of this friendly town. Nearby is Watchet station, so keep an ear out for steam trains!

St Andrew's Church, Withycombe

Highlight • Religious Site

Very old church from the 12th century. The cemetery looks a bit overgrown, which makes it all the more beautiful.
