After our visit to Dunster we drove through Blue Anchor Bay to Watchet. Here are just a few scenes from this lovely little town.

After lunch in a lovely little cafe on the main street we drove back through Blue Anchor Bay and down towards Porlock and Porlock Weir. Porlock is surrounded on three sides by the hills of Exmoor

It was time to drive back to our B&B; visiting Dunster, Watchet and Porlock in one day was not only very tiring but left us feeling as if we had just 'scratched the surface' there is so much to see and do along this coast that we have decided to return very soon and spend a whole week around these places so we have the time to discover more of their history and heritage and enjoy some of the coastal and moorland walks.
They look like places of a bygone era Rosie. I can imagine myself standing in some of those photos in period costume!

ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely trip you had Rosie - coastal and town and some fascinating history to boot!
ReplyDeleteThe Lorna Doon Hotel sounds intriguing and the Dovecote reminds me of the pigeonnaires we saw recently in France.
Popped over to Paul's blog - your hubby I'm assuming?:-)
