A walk from Washford Station to Watchet Station mostly along the route of the West Somerset Mineral Railway which once brought iron ore down from the mines on the Brendon Hills to Watchet harbour and thence the ironworks in South Wales. You can return by steam train on the West Somerset Railway, which parallels much of the route. It is OK for a wheelchair but can be a bit bumpy and muddy in a few places.
