Watchet Marina on a cold winter afternoon. No water but plenty of mud, mud, glorious mud! Watchet is a very old coastal town which took its name from 'wacet', the blue dye found in the local cliffs. It has an attractive esplanade alongside the marina, and features an excellent statue of Coleridge's Ancient Mariner,from the 'Rime of the Ancient Mariner, part of which was said to have been written here. Watchet forms part of the Coleridge Way, a 51 mile footpath linking sites associated with the poet who lived for a while in nearby Nether Stowey. Best enlarged
