Blue Anchor Bay

Highlight • Beach

Blue Anchor bay is on the Bristol Channel between Watchet and Minehead. It's a small settlement and one of the smaller stops on the West Somerset Heritage railway line.
The beach is large and rocky/sandy. The tide moves quickly here.
The road follows the coast for about 1km, it's a nice surface and a great stretch to ride.

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.
