Watchet
Watchet is a harbour community, civil parish as well as electoral ward in the English area of Somerset, with a population of 3,785. It is located 15 miles (24 kilometres) west of Bridgwater, 15 miles (24 km) north-west of Taunton, as well as 9 miles (14 km) eastern of Minehead. The community exists at the mouth of the Washford River on Bridgwater Bay, part of the Bristol Channel, and also on the edge of Exmoor National Park. The original settlement may have been at the Iron Age fort Daw's Castle. It then relocated to the mouth of the river and also a small harbour developed, named by the celts as "Gwo Coed" suggesting Under the Wood. After the Saxon conquest of the area the community created as well as was called Weced or Waeced as well as was struck by Vikings in the 10th century. Trade using the harbour progressively expanded, in spite of damage during several serious storms, with import as well as exports of products including those from Wansbrough Paper Mill until the 19th century when it raised with the export of iron ore, brought from the Brendon Hills using the West Somerset Mineral Railway, primarily to Newport for onward transportation to the Ebbw Vale Steelworks. The West Somerset Railway likewise offered the community as well as port bringing products and individuals from the Bristol and Exeter Railway. The iron ore trade reduced and discontinued in the early-20th century. The port proceeded a smaller sized industrial trade till 2000 when it was exchanged a marina. The church is committed to Saint Decuman that is thought to have died here around 706. An early church was constructed near Daw's Castle as well as a new church was erected in the 15th century.
