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.

Very close to the path, we can enjoy this beautiful waterfall from water that originates in the hills above Comberow and eventually flows into the Washford River.

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.

After the gate track right and stay near top of Combe. The bridleway takes you to the woods and a gate the rest is obvious. Look out for foxes

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.

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!
