Watchet has had an active harbour since at least the Iron Age and was an important trading port during the Saxon era. Later, minerals were traded via here but today the harbour is mostly used as a marina rather than a working harbour. A wonderful place to sit and watch the world go by, the harbour is one of the main draws of this friendly town. Nearby is Watchet station, so keep an ear out for steam trains!
