Watchet Harbour not the boat museum ! A little tired like most seaside towns in the UK but lovely little harbour ,the beach to the north with fossils to find is lovely but a steep climb. Watch out for the tide is very quick.

The guide in the museum was very knowledgeable about the flat bottomed boats on display and about the manufacture of ropes. There is a rope making piece of equipment available for visitors to try out rope making.
