The end of the old Mineral Line - a railway connecting Brendon Hills iron mines with Watchet's docks. The iron then found its way to Wales, to be processed.

Cottages around town

Fuel for happy tummies - our breakfast at Swain House.

When the tide is out you can access the Jurassic Coast from Watchet's beach on the left of the harbour. Put your wellies on and bring your inquisitive attitude along, it's fun!

Pebbles tavern - a quirky, little mingling hotspot. On the evening we visited, there were 28 European musicians performing folk songs - brilliant atmosphere.

Morning walk around the harbour, following the tide on its way out.

Watchet - seafront cottages

 A good start to the day - breakfast at Swain House

Fossil hunting - allow yourself to be immersed and you mind to focus, breath!
