Watchet, Somerset: The coastal town that time forgot

Step back in time with us as we explore the charming harbour town of Watchet, Somerset – a hidden gem on England’s west coast. In this nostalgic travel vlog, we uncover Watchet’s rich history, take in the creative energy of the East Quay development, stroll around the historic harbour, and visit the West Somerset Railway. We also take you on a scenic 7-mile circular walk through Washford, Blue Anchor, and the surrounding countryside – capturing the beauty and slower pace of real coastal England. Along the way, we try some delicious local food, and show you what it’s like to stay at Haven Doniford Bay, just outside of town.
