Nice Waterfall. Not as impressive as it looks on the pictures, if it has not rained for some time. Car park (4£ a day) available at Home Farm Holiday Center. (Limited space)

The natural waterfall at St Audries Bay plunges straight down onto the beach and can only be reached on foot at low tide.

This church dates back to the 12th century, although several of its parts are from later years, such as the tower (1500) or the North aisle and Trevelyan chapel (1540). Like many other churches, it underwent various restorations in the 19th century. The building you see to its left also holds historical significance; it is the Nettlecombe Court.

Awesome waterfall at the western end of St Audrie's Bay. At high tide the beach east of here and the base of the waterfall can get cut off so watch the tide times if you're coming to visit the waterfall or walking along this section of the coast.

Watchet is also one of the stations on the West Somerset Heritage railway. Watch the steam trains or take in the town on your way past.

St Decuman's church sits up on the hill behind the coastal town of Watchet. Decuman was a pastor and doctor who came to the town from Wales in the late 7th century. The story goes that Decuman was beheaded by a pagan but survived by picked up his own head, washing it in the neighbouring well, and putting it back on again. As it were. Heads aside, the church is a peaceful place with many interesting features and a well-kept churchyard.

Williton church, dedicated to St Peter, lies on the western outskirts of the town, on the site of a Saxon chapel. During the 12th century, the lord of the manor here was Reginald Fitzurse, one of the knights who murdered Thomas Becket, the then Archbishop of Canterbury. The church has undergone significant renovation over the centuries and has plenty of intriguing architectural features. It's a lovely place to explore if you find yourself in the area.
