The magnificent statue of the Ancient Mariner stands on the Esplanade at Watchet Harbour. The seven-foot high effigy of the mariner was designed and created by sculptor Alan B. Herriot, of Penicuik, Scotland, cast by Powderhall Fine Art Foundries in Edinburgh and unveiled by Dr. Katherine Wyndham in 2003. (lovewatchet.co.uk) In 1797 Samuel Taylor Coleridge was staying in Nether Stowey and went for a walk over the Quantock Hills with friends William and Dorothy Wordsworth. The sight of Watchet Harbour laid out below him inspired him to write his epic poem - The Rime of the Ancient Mariner A link to the poem which in my schooldays sparked the love of poetry. www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/43997/the-rime-of-the-ancient-mariner-text-of-1834 I have added Fleetwood Mac's 'Albatross' as a link www.youtube.com/watch?v=fXeKi6ZkbOw MY APOLOGIES ABOUT THE PiPS - THEY SEEM TO HAVE DISAPPEARED FROM HERE AND FROM MY PHOTOSTREAM.
