The region
Watchet has bags of charm and is a great little town for exploring Exmoor, the Brendons or the Quantocks, which are all a short distance away.
Situated on the coast, Watchet certainly packs a lot in - there's an active Marina, an Old Port, many quaint houses and narrow street, museums, shops, restaurants, pubs and takeaways! It's an ideal place to stay for a few days or even longer, with many walks in beautiful countryside, along the interesting coastline or just enjoy the Esplanade and the Marina and soak up the charm of the town.
Watchet has so much history, you will have plenty to explore. In the Iron ages, Dawes Fort was built above Watchet to protect the port and area. Samuel Taylor Coleridge's poem The Rime of the Ancient Mariner was written whilst travelling through Watchet and the surrounding area. With its harbour and rail connections Watchet was an important trading town. Today, the West Somerset Steam train stops at Watchet on route between Minehead and Bishops Lydeard.
