The region Watchet is a historic harbour town on the West Somerset coast, one of the oldest ports in England. Its working marina, independent shops, and friendly atmosphere make it a wonderful base for exploring Exmoor. The town sits where the Washford River meets the Bristol Channel, with a compact centre of colour-washed cottages, narrow lanes, and a lively harbourside. Watchet has a long maritime heritage -- it was a busy trading port in Saxon times and is famously linked to Samuel Taylor Coleridge, who is said to have been inspired to write The Rime of the Ancient Mariner after visiting the harbour. A striking statue of the mariner stands on the Esplanade. Town Amenities Watchet has a good range of everyday amenities for a small town. There is a convenience store, a post office, a chemist, and several independent shops along Swain Street, including galleries, gift shops, and a bookshop.
