Watchet sits on the Somerset coastline and apart from being a very pretty seaside town with a harbour, a wide promenade lined with cafes and ice cream parlours, and an excellent fish ‘n’ chips shop, it’s also a stop on the West Somerset Railway allowing you to travel along the coast in steam-powered style.
In the distance, Dunster Castle and the wilder curves of Exmoor added a pretty-as-a-painting backdrop while weeks of rain turned the fields bordering the path into mini lakes, a haven for wildlife, sparkling in the sunshine.
