Somerset Randomness

Mainly photos taken around Watchet, Minehead and our day out on The West Somerset Railway. Contrary to local public opinion, both Sal and I loved the new East quay complex built on the dilapidated old East Quay shipyard which was a right mess the last time we stayed. I think its the modern architecture the locals can't get on with but we both liked it. It is used as an arts centre, has some nice independent shops and, more importantly, a cracking little cafe. I believe they also stage concerts on a seasonal basis.

Our visit to Minehead was to do a bit of shopping and to get a parking ticket in the process. Word of advice, always closely check the ticket machine number which your parking app picks up!

The day on the West Somerset Railway was ace and a true step back in time. Unfortunately our timetable was cut short due to a fault on the line which was having to be manually checked, this resulted in us missing our visit to Bishops Lydeard. 

They delay did give us time for a coffee, a wander along the front at Minehead and also to have a quick play on the slots before getting the last train back to Watchet.
