It's getting steamy in Somerset!

We have arrived at Hoburn Holiday Camp in Blue Anchor Bay, Somerset.

We decided to take the 15 minute steam train ride from Blue Anchor into Minehead. This was the first time Dione had travelled on a steam train. The West Somerset Railway (WSR) is a 22.75-mile (36.6 km) heritage railway line in Somerset, England. The freehold of the line and stations is owned by Somerset Council. The railway is leased to and operated by West Somerset Railway plc (WSR plc), which is supported and minority-owned by the West Somerset Railway Association (WSRA) charitable trust and the West Somerset Railway Heritage Trust (WSRHT). WSR operates services using both heritage steam and diesel trains. Our return trip was done on steam trains. You can go on the full 22.75 mile trip or go from the various stations.
It was fun to explore Minehead. The High Street is really bustling. We found a very cheap, very good cafe called Brambles and have visited it several times now.

We ventured into Watchet which is a friendly, vibrant harbour town on the West Somerset coast. The town looks out across the Bristol Channel with views along the unspoilt coast and across to Wales. It is set against the green backdrop of Exmoor National Park and the Quantock Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and is an excellent centre for exploring both. The cliffs and shoreline either side of Watchet Harbour offer fascinating geological interest, fossils can be readily found.

Located in Washford, we went to Cleeve Abbey, which is said to contain the finest cloister buildings in England. The abbey church was destroyed by Henry VIII during the dissolution in 1536, the cloister buildings including the gatehouse, 15th century refectory with its glorious angel roof and 13th century heraldic tiles have survived remarkably intact. This is an English Heritage site and it was a great day out.
